Charles C. Wine

Charles C. Wine (May 17, 1901 – February 9, 1974)[1] was an Arkansas lawyer who served as Arkansas Public Service Commissioner from 1945 to 1950, and as a justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court for several months in 1948.

He was born near Carthage, Missouri, but he grew up in Texarkana. He got a degree from the University of Arkansas. He received a law degree from the Cumberland School of Law before beginning his career as a judge in Texarkana in 1936.[1]

He was also the Arkansas Public Service Commissioner from 1945 to 1950.[2] In August 1948, Wine was appointed to a seat on the state supreme court vacated by the death of Justice Edgar L. McHaney, to serve until a new justice was elected in the November 1948 election.[3] Wine sought election to the court in 1950, but lost in the primary to Sam Dunn Robinson.[4]

Wine died in a hospital in Bentonville, Arkansas, at the age of 72.[1]
