Key senator supports states in crackdown on home delivery of wine
Article Abstract:
Senator Orrin Hatch introduced the 21st Amendment enforcement act on March 10, 1999. The bill aims to give states who ban direct shipments of wine to prosecute offenders with federal courts. Hatch is most concerned with the possibility that minors could obtain wine via the mail, though there had not been any significant problem with underage persons obtaining alcohol via the mail.

Three senators call for warning labels on French wines
Article Abstract:
There have been reports that some French wineries are using banned animal blood products as clarifying agents. The use of such products had been banned by the European Union in 1997 after the mad cow disease scare. The wineries caught using the products do not make the types of wines that are generally exported, but 3 US senators have proposed putting a warning label on all French wines stating the possibility that such products were used.
