Why is it illegal to transport liquor into Vermont? Does Vermont have its own vineyards?

I live in Chicago and was about to send my Mother-in-law a bottle of wine. Then I was stopped and told that I could not bring in or take out any liquor in Vermont. I just want to know why. I feel like this is Prohibition again. For such a liberal state that Vermont is, I don't understand this restriction.|||Because Vermont is a control state, it's illegal to transport it for resale. Not much can be said for one or two bottles. It's large amounts that strike up suspicion. You're fine sending your in-law a bottle.|||Every state has their own liquor laws.... My friend from CT couldn't get wine shipped to her in CT from PA.....but I could in GA.....check out this winery I visited that is in Charlotte, VT, I was told by the owner that you can have their wine shipped out of state (but of course that only applys to certain states)..... Who told you that you couldn't bring in or take out any liquor in VT???? I've never had a problem... before the new TSA rules I flew with a bottle of wine in my carry on luggage from Burlington, VT to Atlanta, GA.... I've also had wine shipped to me from VT to GA and never had a problem.
