HB 44 -- Liquor and Wine Tasting

Sponsor:  Smith (14)

This bill allows persons licensed to sell intoxicating liquor in
the original package at retail who have a special permit to allow
liquor and wine tastings on the premises to charge a set fee for
persons consuming multiple samples up to certain limits for beer,
wine, and distilled spirits.

Wineries, distillers, manufacturers, wholesalers, or brewers are
allowed to provide samples for customer tasting purposes at
retail licensed premises that have a special permit or a by-the-
drink-for-consumption-on-the-premises-where-sold retail license.
The winery, distiller, manufacturer, wholesaler, or brewer cannot
give money or anything of value to the retailer for the
opportunity to conduct the tasting.  Tastings may be conducted
off of a retail licensed premise if no sales transactions take
place, but solicitations for later sales via promotional
materials are allowed.
