The Federal Trade Commission has accused Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits of favoring large chains over small businesses by charging them higher prices for wine and spirits.
The FTC's complaint highlights a potential violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, which aims to maintain competitive pricing between large and small retailers in the market.
Southern Glazer's argues that the volume discounts they offer are standard practice among distributors, asserting that they ultimately benefit consumers by keeping overall prices lower.
The legal actions taken against Southern Glazer's could signify a critical examination of antitrust laws, with implications for both distributors and the retail wine and spirits market.
