Here's something that may be positive for direct shipping.

My fingers are crossed. Here's another story on it that I read today:

It could set back shipping as well. I sometimes wonder where the high court inserts their heads.......

Sorry to say, Bucko might be right.
The issue is being framed in a narrow manner. The Supreme Court could rule that it is unconstitutional for individual states to allow wineries in-state to ship but to bar out-of-state wineries to ship in. With a ruling like that, states could simply ban all shipping instead of opening it up to out-of-state wineries--and with the court's bent for state's rights it is a likely outcome.
