Hmmm: Amazon to Sell Wine Online

I guess cornering the market on books sales and driving small bookstores out of business just wasn't enough for Amazon. Starting in October, Amazon will begin selling wine online.
Amazon is looking to sell wine in approximately 26 states and wine sold on its site will come from all regions of the country, Hall said. Hall said wine purchases on Amazon would even qualify for its discount shipping program, Amazon Prime, in which goods are shipped free for a yearly fee of $79.

Shipping wine is one thing, shipping wine properly in a climate controlled environment is something entirely different. We'll have to see if Amazon gets that piece of the equation right.
