It’s not going to happen… For now, it looks as if wine will not be sold in grocery stores in Tennessee. The “wine in grocery stores” bill failed by just one vote in the House “Local Government Committee.” The bill would have authorized local jurisdictions, having previously approved liquor-by-the-drink sales or retail package liquor stores, to hold a referendum authorizing the sale of wine in a “retail food store”.
According to information about the financial impact on the bill proposal, if wine were sold in grocery stores it could add over $2-million in local revenue to the community.
