New Jersey Struggles with Less Liquor After Sandy

Residents of the Garden State are missing several brands of liquor after Hurricane Sandy put warehouses under water and kept shipping trucks from running. Compounding the situation is that New Jersey law prohibits distributors from buying from out-of-state suppliers, which means that the supply is cut off for popular brands like Grey Goose vodka and Cristal champagne. The exclusive New Jersey distributor for those drinks, Fedway Associates, has had to deal with the 10-foot floods of the Hackensack River. The company is focusing on cleaning up their warehouse and buying new trucks.
