NY Bars Buy Wine, Spirits Directly from Stores

New York bars and restaurants now have more flexibility in stocking up on wine and spirits, thanks to a new state law. They can buy up to six bottles a week directly from nearby liquor stores, including twelve-packs of canned cocktails as one bottle. This change modernizes old rules, boosts local retailers, and is praised by hospitality leaders for cutting red tape. However, a bill to let supermarkets sell wine is sparking debate, with liquor store owners and unions warning it could hurt local jobs and wineries, while supporters say it meets shopper demand and brings in more tax money.
