A statewide ballot measure that could bring wine to the shelves of grocery stores remains too close to call and could be headed for an automatic recount
Of the 2.3 million ballots that had been counted by Sunday, support for Proposition 125 was leading by about 14,300 votes, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s website.Opponents of Proposition 125, including most liquor store owners, say if it passes, it will devastate their businesses.“For my business, this would be very devastating,” said Carolyn Joy, owner of Joy Wine and Spirits in Denver.
“Thirty-seven other states have wine in grocery stores,” said Michelle Lyng, spokesperson for Wine in Grocery Stores. “It’s a very small change. It would put us in line with the vast majority of the United States.” “I really truly hope it doesn't pass because that's going to be detrimental to hundreds of mom-and-pop small local liquor stores that are grocery anchored,” said Gallagher.“I don't think anybody's afraid of competition. I've got lots of competition,” said Gallagher. “But what I don't like is when the playing field is completely unlevel.”
