I might have to rename this blog Whinemouth temporarily.We have had a lot to celebrate lately -- our return to Minnesota, the sale of our New York apartment -- and, naturally, have had our fair share of Champagne. A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to pick up a bottle of bubbly to share with a dinner guest. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday and I was out of luck.
Minnesota is one of 14 states that still enforces a ban on Sunday liquor sales. As the economy is still struggling back from a painful recession, you would think states would be doing everything possible to add to their tax revenues, by repealing these silly blue laws. But it hasn't happened yet.
Clinging to such laws is not just quaint. It's antiquated. It's bad for business. It's bad for consumers like me. Why shouldn't I be able to buy wine whenever I want?
