CT Wine Customer

Standing up for CT small businesses & consumers. Repping over 1,200 neighborhood package stores. Fighting for the little guy is why we’re here.

Package store owners and customers from across CT headed to Hartford to tell Chairman D’Agostino and @SenatorMaroney that HB5918 is a bad idea.

Helping record profits v. protecting family businesses. The choice is simple.

Unlike a crowded, understaffed grocery store, your local package store is built for a better shopping experience—helpful staff, great selection, and no long checkout lines. Why change that? #CTSmallBiz #ShopSmart

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

On all occasions, you can trust your local package store. #shoplocal

Supermarkets should focus on food, not taking business away from local retailers. Package stores are experts in their field—why let big corporations push them out? #CTSmallBiz #SaveLocalRetail

Your neighborhood package store takes responsible alcohol sales seriously. Overloaded grocery store clerks ringing up hundreds of items? Not so much. Keep alcohol sales in the hands of trained professionals. #ResponsibleSales #ShopLocal

"Rather than dismantling a system that works, Connecticut should continue to refine and support its alcohol distribution model, ensuring that it remains fair, accessible and safe." #ifitaintbroke💪https://t.co/WiAcakQvea

When big box stores get their way, small businesses get left behind. Letting them sell wine is just the first step toward corporate takeovers. Let’s stop this before it’s too late. #StopTheCorporateGrab

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

Wine is already widely available at local, family-owned package stores. This isn’t about consumer choice—it’s about corporations grabbing even more cash. Let’s stop the power grab. #CTSmallBiz #SupportLocal

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

Big box grocery stores want to sell wine. Could you even imagine the suggestions?! #shoplocal

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

Connecticut’s alcohol laws support strong, healthy local businesses. Why change the rules to favor big box stores over the stores that have served our communities for generations? #SupportLocal #IfItAintBrokeDontFixIt

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

This week, our “Don’t Let Big Box Supermarkets Break Us,” posters started hitting stores across CT. If you see one in your local package store, please take 5 minutes to sign up today. We’re going to need your support to help us protect our neighborhood package stores. Stay tuned!

Check out this Op-Ed by CPSA’s Sean Hughes explaining our opposition to HB5918 and how over 1,000 people showed up to tell the GL committee why this is a bad idea for businesses and consumers. https://t.co/eXxEfJ43tO

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

When corporate greed wins, small businesses and consumers lose. Thank you @Paul_Choiniere for covering HB5918 fairly and pointing out the fallacy at the heart of mega supermarket’s convenience argument. Read more below: https://t.co/zmY154kmDJ

Last week small business owners and workers from across CT packed the Capitol to make their voices heard on HB5918. If you agree with us that #shoppinglocal is more important than corporate profits, follow and retweet today.

[CT Wine Customer @ctwinecustomer]

Thank you to everyone who showed up today to support family-owned businesses here in CT. https://t.co/zmDUwh2diO
