"Apparently there was a law in 1636 that made it illegal to sell wine in bottles," - Seems like the wholesaler network was active even 350 years ago. The original colonies were probably forbidden from shipping wine directly between them, they would need a wholesaler to be certain that young Puritans didn't order alcohol when they were underage.
The Archaeoligists also uncovered an original text of a study from Motto/Kryla/Fisher in which Vic Motto is quoted: "This shall be a tremendous year for the small, luxury wineries of Jamestown. We forecasteth nought but tremendous growth. All indications of a down market are witchcraft and the work of Satan!"
