It's not monopolized, but the amount of licensing regulations makes it quite prohibitive for the average person to get into - and also hard to get into even if you wanted to do it as a profession (last time I priced it in Ohio, several years ago, I think it was about $250,000 just for a commercial winery - more for distillation). And while you can make a limited supply of beer and wine for personal use, it is illegal to distill liquor - either evaporative or fractional distillation - in any amount without proper licensing.


-- now back to your regularly scheduled sobering debate.
