Sheer barbarism! Wine shipment limited in some states!

My first time shopping Wine.com, I'm asked with each selection if the U.S. state I previously indicated is indeed the state to which I'll be having the wine shipped. I finally went to the "Why is this important?" help link and read this:

Although we can ship wine to more than 80% of the U.S. population over age 21, a few states do not allow their residents to receive wine shipments. If you are choosing a gift for one of these states, your product choices will automatically be limited to our line of tasteful and practical wine accessories.

Brian Wilson, who broadcasts from the District of Columbia - one of the affected statelets - for the San Francisco libertarian/convervative KSFO AM 560 market, and who also loves wine, has I'm sure had choice words about this insanity.
