Food and wine often go well together but here in Kentucky, the two aren’t sold together.

One group hopes to change that.

The Food with Wine Coalition was organized in 2007 by Kentucky’s food store industry.

The group says 34 states, including six of Kentucky’s seven bordering states, allow wine to be sold in supermarkets.

The coalition believes by allowing it here, Kentucky farmers and wineries will benefit, and millions of dollars of tax revenuecan also be gained.

“We’re encouraging people who are interested in this issue and want to support it to go to our websitefoodwithwine.org, sign our petition,” says coalition consultant Luke Schmidt.

“And two things will happen. First of all not only will you sign the petition but by doing so, it will automatically generate a letter to your specific state senator and state representative indicating your support for the issue.”
