A New York court may soon decide whether the New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA) overstepped its jurisdiction when it took action against an in-state retailer for sending booze to customers outside the state. On August 1, 2014, NYSLA charged Albany wine store Empire Wine with “improperly” shipping wine directly to consumers in 16 other states. The maximum penalty, according to NYSLA’s Notice of Pleading, is revocation of Empire’s off-premises retail license and forfeiture and revocation of its bond. Empire responded by suing the agency in the Albany County Supreme Court.
