Last call: CA Liquor Delivery Law Ending After Lobbying Blitz

An extensive lobbying effort failed to keep shipping products allowed in California for craft liquor distillers, meaning the delivery of small-batch whiskey and gin to customers' homes is ending. This issue underscores how wealthy and powerful interests influence policy among lawmakers. Previously, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order allowing this shipping during the COVID-19 pandemic.
