#2 true, but while it is complex, it isn't intractable.

My company enables direct to consumer beer and cider delivery. We mapped out the laws at the zip code level to avoid the legal issues and it works well.

The hard part is convincing the producers and consumers that it is even something they can do. And that shipping if actually worth it. Amazon has convinced the world that shopping is free.

I'm pretty interested in that. Which company is it? Is it in U.S.? And does it serve the Mid-South?
