The New Jersey Restaurant Association and New Jersey Taxpayers Alliance teamed together with civic and business leaders today to share opinions and positions on the plight of the state's finances and its impact on businesses, business owners and individual taxpayers in the continuing spiral of the state's fiscal decline.
Deborah Dowdell, President, New Jersey Restaurant Association, delivered the following remarks:
On behalf of the 23,000 eating and drinking establishments in New Jersey employing over 300,000 people, the New Jersey Restaurant Association is here today to present an element of the misery index, a proposed increase in the excise tax on wine and spirits by 25%, projecting to yield $22 million to the state budget for fiscal year 2010. With this 25% wine and spirits tax increase, the small pleasures in life including the champagne toast at a wedding, the margarita after work or the bottle of wine shared at dinner will cost consumers more, another example of the rising misery index for residents of N.J. |

New Vine Logistics, a Napa-based wine-shipping and distribution company whose saga in recent weeks has transfixed much of the wine business, emailed customers late Wednesday night that it’s “resuming operations.”
The message, signed by “The New Vine Team,” said the company would begin shipping orders on June 11, thanks to funding lined up late last week from Inertia Beverage Group.

MIAMI, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- When wine distributor Carlos Lerena and entrepreneur Gabriel Goldberg glance around the massive building that will soon become their winery, there's not a grapevine in sight. It turns out that's the whole idea: to bring the grapes straight from the expert growers, and bottle the wine close to the wine lovers.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- Europeans, who have long chafed at California wineries using geographic terms like Champagne and Chablis to describe their wines, have banned the importation of some U.S. wines using such terms as ''clos'' and ''chateau'' on wine labels.
Those French words, along with other terms like ''classic,'' ''tawny,'' ''noble,'' ''ruby'' and ''vintage,'' are all strictly regulated wine terms in Europe, with specific rules for who gets to use them and when.
Now, the European Union is contending that U.S. vintners must adhere to the same EU rules for wines using terms regarded as ''traditional expressions'' in order to avoid confusion.
