The wine-shipper's case was the clearest violation of the Commerce Clause I've seen since the early 19th century. While "in violation of the laws whereof" can't be used to justify violating the Constitution. The Constitution is supreme to mere law.

If the laws prohibited importation of contaminated wine, or wine produced by child labor, which is within the police powers of the state, that's different. Economic protectionism of domestic industry isn't within the police powers of the states, especially not when it violates the Commerce Clause. That's old news.
