America has a pretty intense yes-no history with alcohol.
YES, we produce some damn fine beers, wines, and spirits.
But NO, sales on these products -- especially when it comes time to celebrate the country's birthday, for pete's sake -- should not be limited to any one category.
YES, shops all over Boston want you to buy wine for the holiday weekend.
But NO, you should not have to pay too much for it.
That, at least, is the philosophy of some shops around town today and for the next few days.
TODAY, for example, at Blanchard's in Jamaica Plain, wine, beer and spirits are on sale plus they'll be BBQing some good ole American hot dogs and hamburgers just for kicks.
And from now through Saturday, every wine -- every single wine -- on the shelves at Panzano Provviste e Vino in Southborough is on sale.
Time to stock up, even if your stock will go back down after this weekend.
God bless America.
