And in states where it isn't distributors are fighting to make it so. The thing is - the consumers didn't realise how much of an issue it was until the movie Sideways, when they tried to order some of the Pinot Noirs. The laws were like a glass ceiling - and Sideways was the catalyst that made people walk into it. Now that they know their limitations - they're beginning to fight against them. It has been a Black Swan in that sense - something that's always been there, but has only been taken into account since consumers stumbled upon it. The law hasn't changed - but since the discovery of the Black Swan, consumer's discovery of the law has caused them to take a stance against it. Thanks for all the comments. I'm in Athens connecting to Lesbos now - just had a great weak on a little beach called Assos, which is on the Ionian. Went to a neat little vineyard called Robolla, which you may enjoy. Wine is okay. I'll have to blog about it as soon as I get the time! Cheerz Pete, R It’s not prohibited in all states. And in states where it isn’t distributors are fighting to make it so.

Adaptability in the US wine market is deliberately inhibited by law - 3 tier system, bans on direct shipping etc. Change can't happen because it is artificially restricted. We can predict <i>exactly</i> what will happen in the US if the restrictions are removed. It's not that they can't see the black swan; it's there on their dining table plucked, stuffed and roasted. I don’t follow this argument.
