"Why should a company lose that much money in Kansas," he said, "when they can't get it from them."
MCCLURESAID that about 60 per cent of all posted wine companies would cut off everything from Kansas, and that others would limit their distribution in the state.
He said nearly 90 per cent of the foreign wines would quit distribution in Kansas. "Matesus and Huntite are the only foreign wines available in the state," he added. "Foreign wines will not afford it—no way."
McClure explained that wines like Beaujolais are individually brought into the
state by importers who couldn't afford to pay $500 for each label they bring in.
"We're not cutting out any problem," he said. "We're cutting out the person who likes a good wine with dinner. These are people that are really into the wine, couldn't even afford them just to get drunk."
“IT'S LIKE this. If you go to the store to get caviar, if they don't have it, you don't buy asparagus to replace it. There is no replacement.”
"Like a Dorm Pernigon which is about a $23 per bottle," he said. "We have a club that

--n it goes through, without modifications and does not have an injunction filed against it," he said. "we will see a great improvement." He would be pretty intimate to the consumer.
McClure said one good thing about the milk was that it would get rid of many minor labels like Old Fence Tee and Kentucky Hubcap. "the ones you don't ever sell, but..."
"IN GETTING RID of these," he said,
they are also going to be knocked out a
much harder time.
"I imagine Gallo will stay, and Almaden may not keep their full lines, but will probably be a big portion of them. But a bit majority of wines just cannot afford this."
"It's cutting the premium wines totally out of the picture."
McClure said premium wines like Ridge California Zinfandel (Late Harvest) came from small vineyards that specialized in a particular grape or method that made them better than average. But, he said, these small companies couldn't afford the $200
Underwood said that the governor didn't have to take action on the bill until April 28, and that he hoped a new, more feasible plan could be developed before then.
HE SAID SOME popular wines that probably wouldn't be available in Kansas if the bill passed into law included Beringer, Sonoma, Clos Duval and Mirasson.

long while before Kansas would see any big change in lieu distribution.
"He would be faced with the wine selection of about 10 years ago."
