Gary Vaynerchuk, talked about "The Changing Face of Wine," during which he piped, "For all the wholesalers out there ... [expletive] you, there's a reason I left Russia." Which was pretty darned funny considering he followed a guy who works for one of the biggest distributor/wholesaler cartels in the United States. Directed at the 3-tier system , Gary V. refers to draconian post-Prohibition state laws that bar consumers from buying wine sold by out-of-state retailers.
