A new bill in New York could allow supermarkets to sell wine, gaining support from the public and advocates who argue for greater accessibility. A Siena College poll reveals 83% of NYC voters and 78% of all New Yorkers favor this change, seeking to overturn restrictions that limit wine sales to liquor stores. While some liquor store owners oppose the move, citing business concerns, supporters, including supermarket chain owners, believe it can boost local wine sales and align New York with other states that allow grocery wine sales.
An eye-popping 83% of New York City voters said they support allowing supermarkets to sell wine - as do 78% of all residents statewide, according to a new poll.
"We support selling wine in our grocery stores. It would expand the brand of wine - particularly wine made in New York State," said John Catsimatidis, whose Red Apple Group owns the Gristedes Supermarket chain.
