Until that happens I thank you for your post in support of wine consumer's choice in Illinois. We believe that it is unfair for Illinois consumers to be able to purchase anything that can be legally imported into this country via the internet with the exception of wine. We think that is fundamentally unfair that distributors and resellers in Illinois can dictate to us what wine we will drink. It adds insult to injury that they can also establish the price that we will pay for that wine as well. We’re hoping that with enough voices, enough signatures on the petition, we can get the attention of our legislators and change this anti-consumer law. We urge everyone who agrees with us to visit our website at http://www.illinoiswineconsumers.org and sign up, sign the petition, and most importantly, share this info with your Illinois wine drinking friends! As little as a few thousand names can really make our voice heard – we need everyone's help. Anyone with questions, ideas for us, want to get more involved, or would like to donate in support of IWCC should send us an email at info@illinoiswineconsumers.org. The legal tide is turning in our favor – now is our time to make a difference and bring choice back to Illinois’s wine drinking consumers!
