Wine wholesalers spend $50 million on political contributions

Alcoholic beverage wholesalers contributed $50 million to political campaigns between 2000 and 2006, according to a report issued by the Specialty Wine Retailers Association. This sum does not take into account money spent to retain lobbyists or public relations firms.
