Don’t be surprised if the next time you go grocery shopping, you’re asked to sign a petition regarding the sale of wine in grocery stores. A nonprofit organization called “Red White and Food” wants to get enough signatures in Shelby County and across Tennessee to force a November referendum allowing the sale of wine in grocery stores. The “wine in retail food store bill” was passed by both the Tennessee House and the Senate during the 2014 legislative session. Through August 21st, registered voters in Shelby County can sign a petition at one of eight Kroger stores and a Superlo Foods in East Memphis.
