What happened that now makes it illegal to ship wine to NJ?
September of 2008, I was in Napa and bought wine at several wineries to ship home. I live in PA (where stupid blue laws have always prevented you form shipping wine there), so I sent it to my brother in NJ. No questions, no problems.
Recently I wanted to order some of that same wine again, and NJ is now on the list of states they can't ship to. When did this happen? I'm especially surprised since the state doesn't control liquor sales there like they do in PA.
Personally, I think it's a crock and I should be able to buy wine from an out of state vintner and ship it to my house for personal consumption. Especially when you're limited to the crappy selection that PA "Wine and Spirits Shoppes" carry.

It's not that the law has changed, NJ has started actually enforcing their antiquated shipping laws.
Have a look at Free The Grapes and they have information on every state and the specific laws (and some cases elected officials) that are making it impossible to ship.
My wine club doesn't ship to NJ or PA, it's generally just a mess.
I do believe there is some hope for shipping to NJ though. Take a look at Always Cool and 58 Degrees, they set up accounts for you to technically ship to yourself. Depending on the price point and amount of wine, it might work.
Best of luck!

The state of N.J. is broke. They figure if you have to buy your wine in the state they can collect more in taxes. ( sales taxes, excise taxes, and other fees)
