    AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WINE ECONOMISTS AAWE WORKING PAPER No. 48 Economics INTRODUCING WINE INTO GROCERY STORES: ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS AND TRANSITIONAL ISSUES Bradley J. Rickard October 2009 www.wine-economics.org Introducing wine into grocery stores: Economic implications and transitional issues Bradley J. Rickard Assistant Professor Department of Applied Economics and Management Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 Tel: +1.607.255.7417 E-mail: [email protected] October, 2009 Abstract There has been a long history of government regulation related to wine marketing activities in the United States, and many regulations have been state-specific. For example, fifteen states currently have laws that restrict wine sales in grocery stores. Several of these states have recently proposed changes that would expand the distribution of wine; however, the economic implications of such changes are not well understood and the proposals have met significant resistance from key stakeholders. A simulation model is developed here to assess the likely effects of introducing wine into grocery stores in New York State. Results suggest that benefits would be generated for out-of- state wineries, government revenues, and in most cases the in-state wineries; wine sales at liquor stores would fall by 17% to 32% with this policy change. Simulation results are subsequently used to develop a framework for evaluating various proposals that would provide compensation to liquor store owners. Keywords: Grocery stores; New York State; Rent-seeking; Simulation model; Wine sales. JEL Classification: Q18 Introducing wine into grocery stores: Economic implications and transitional issues 1. Introduction Thirty-five states have laws that allow wine to be available in liquor stores and grocery stores (including both food stores and drug stores).

Konstantin Frank ignited the “Vinifera Revolution” a movement that forever changed the course of wine in the Finger Lakes. Our Founder, Dr. Konstantin Frank Konstantin was of German heritage, born and raised in Ukraine. He held a Ph.D. in viticulture from the Polytechnic Institute of Odessa and became a successful viticulture professor and vineyard consultant. After WWII, he immigrated to the United States with his family. After a brief stay in New York City, Konstantin moved upstate to take a position at Cornell University’s Geneva Experiment Station. Dr. Frank believed from his years in Ukraine that the lack of proper rootstock, not the cold climate, was the reason for the failure of Vitis vinifera vines in the Finger Lakes region. He continued to promote his beliefs and to seek a sympathetic ear, which he found in Charles Fournier, a French champagne maker and President of nearby Gold Seal Vineyards. Communicating in French, Dr. Frank revealed to Fournier about his research for growing the delicate European vinifera grape varieties in cold climates. After purchasing some land on the western shores of Keuka Lake in 1958, Konstantin began grafting native rootstock from N.
