The Impact of Public Policy on the American Wine Industry Monday, June 24, 2019, 11:15 AM - 12:30 PM How does what happen in Washington, DC and at every state capitol effect what goes in your glass? The wine industry, from winemaking to distribution is one of the unique industries that is governed by 52 sets of laws: federal, each state and Washington, DC. While we swirl, sniff and sip we don't think about how laws and regulations effect how the wine gets into the glass. Michael Kaiser, Vice President of WineAmerica will delve into why wineries and other professionals in the wine business need to not only be informed on the issues, but take an active role in shaping public policy.
