TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida court is clearing the way for automated beer and wine dispensing machines.

The First District Court of Appeal ruled Friday that the state was wrong when it said a South Florida company couldn't install the machines in the self-serve convenience stores it has in high-end residential properties around the state.

La Galere asked the state permission to install the machines and was denied.

The company now plans to go forward and install them after Friday's ruling.
