There isn't much press on this (which is interesting in and of itself), but I've learned that two of my wine distributors went out of business. They are Domaine Selections and Bacchus.
They represented a lot of good wines; those wineries had to scramble to find another distributor.
I suppose that if the number of distributors declines, the survivors will have more pricing power and can pay the wineries less for their wines, which may in turn push some wineries over the edge. But I think we still have enough large and small wine distributors here that that shouldn't be a problem.
