But now distributors, like Australian Beverage Company, says grocery store wine is killing their bottom line.ABC owner Bruce Clugston said that compared to last year, they’re down 40% with small liquor stores and 20% with larger stores. The company distributes to stores across the state."I’ve done very well with a lot of small retailers and it’s they are sort of my lifeblood and I am talking to people now and no one is ordering anything," Clugston said.
