California craft liquor delivery is about to go away thanks to big money lobbying

Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that allowed craft distillers to ship spirits to their customers’ homes.
The craft distillers, who have spent a fraction as much on state politics, say all that spending from the opposition, particularly from corporate liquor distributors, appears to have paid off.
Teamsters lobbyist Matt Broad said the labor group’s truck drivers aren’t opposed to allowing craft distillers to ship their product.
They just want them to use established shipping companies that have actual employees, including those that employ Teamsters, such as UPS.
The California wine industry, which has been allowed to ship bottles directly to customers in California for decades, isn’t necessarily opposed either.
