The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits for allegedly engaging in price discrimination by providing volume discounts and rebates to large retail chains while denying similar offers to smaller businesses. The FTC claims this practice undermines competition and threatens the viability of independent retailers, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers. Southern Glazer’s disputes these allegations, arguing that their discounts are based on cost efficiencies. The FTC seeks a permanent injunction to prevent further discrimination, citing violations of the Robinson-Patman Act.
