Simple question

Wine is supposed to be shipped upside down or laying down. Old World Wines tend to be on their sides and New World Wines upside down. Having said that, beware of our friends from the congomorates. In our state the only distributor besides the beer distributors (another long story) is Gallo. For you novices that is a lot of wine. Brands you wouldn't believe come from them including Turning Leaf, Ecco Domani, Andre, and dozens of others. They haul their stuff around upright including their premium brands like Gallo Somona. If you catch them in a store and ask them about it they say that it moves so fast it doesn't matter. Could be true. The beer guys, some of whom are fairly decent people, say the wines from some of other biggies such as Bronco do the same thing.
