Wine industry taking a hit amid COVID

Wine tasting rooms, bars, and distilleries have been facing an economic crisis due to the coronavirus and when Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted his Executive Order GA-08 on March 19, 2020, there were four orders given. Order number 2 placed restaurants, bars, food courts, gyms, massage parlors, etc on lockdown with the exception of allowing drive-thru orders at restaurants, “In accordance with the Guidelines from the President and the CDC, people shall avoid eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, and food courts, or visiting gyms or massage parlors; provided, however, that the use of drive-thru, pickup, or delivery options is allowed and highly encouraged throughout the limited duration of this executive order.”
