Liquor Shortage Disrupts Mississippi's Alcohol Supply Chain

Liquor stores across Mississippi are facing a supply shortage as the state's distribution system experiences prolonged delays. Technical issues with the replacement of an aging conveyor system at the state's liquor warehouse have contributed to the backlog, leaving store shelves bare and customers frustrated.

The impact has been felt by businesses like Spillway Wine and Spirits in Brandon, Mississippi, where the owner, Mitch Bailey, has had to limit purchases and turn away customers seeking popular brands.
