This uneven treatment was deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in May 2005. As a result of the ruling, states can essentially either allow direct shipments from all US wineries or prohibit all direct shipments. So far, Kansas seems to be leaning towards prohibition. [...]

Citing the Commerce Clause as does the Granholm decision, Judge Marsha Pechman agreed with Costco that Washington’s system that allows in-state beer and wine producers to ship directly to retailers while prohibiting out-of-state producers from doing the same is unconstitutional.� She gave Washington lawmakers until April 14th, 2006 to either allow all beer and wine producers to sell directly to retailers or to prohibit direct sales to retailers altogether.
