Amazonian Wine and the Impact it Will Have

Even though it's not official yet, according to a number of sources who went to print this morning, Amazon.com - that mammoth of e-commerce, that salesman of all things under the sun, will soon be selling you wine and sending it straight to your mailbox. The company, who's been selling gourmet food stuffs for awhile but never offered any vino, is set to join the likes of wine.com and a handful of other websites that sell wine on the web.

The Wall Street Journal has a pretty thorough rundown of the situation, and notes how interesting it is that a company that began as a bookseller will soon be in the booze business. Americans are getting to the point where they're never going to have to leave their homes again . . . not that I think deliverable wine is such a bad thing. Anyway, if anyone has thoughts on the matter, feel free to comment below!
