Oenophiles rejoice: A decades-old law restricting the right of D.C. residents to import wine may be nearing its end.

Legislation before the D.C. Council would boost the volume of wine a person could have shipped into the city to two cases per month, per home or business. Existing law prohibits imports of more than a single quart per month to any person who does not hold a manufacturer’s, wholesaler’s or retailer’s license.
