Costco Wholesale Corp., a national chain of discount warehouse clubs that is the largest wine retailer in the US, sued the Washington Liquor Control Board in 2004, arguing that the state's liquor regulations were anticompetitive. Costco found success by buying products in bulk directly from producers and thereby charging consumers a lower price.
