Only buy your wine from the State... sounds familiar. Recall something about a country overseas putting rules on tea purchases....
In the former Soviet Union the state stores were always ALWAYS stocked with vodka. Drunken citizens are less of a threat to the regime, I guess.
In the state run liquor stores in Ohio, all the bottles were behind the counter. A price list was posted and you had to ask the employee to go and bring you what you wanted to the cash register. Big Brother really was watching what it was that you drank.
