Some Wineries Cracking Down on Limousines and Buses
Some unfortunate and unnecessary incidents at wineries from Napa Valley to Long Island have forced various winemakers to institute new policies regarding groups of people arriving for tastings in limos and party buses. Some people have abused the whole purpose of wine tastings in order to get drunk on the cheap, and this has led to incidents of fisticuffs, loud, obnoxious behavior and most unwelcome conduct. This behavior puts the winemakers in an unenviable position. On one hand, wine tastings are a very important part of their marketing and viability as businesses. Many winemakers rely on tastings for up to 85 percent of their sales as people who attend for the right reasons taste wines and buy them on the spot.
