An Act To Reduce the Number of Labels of Wine a Retailer Must Stock To Conduct a Wine Tasting
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 28-A MRSA §1205, sub-§1, as amended by PL 2011, c. 69, §1, is further amended to read:
 
1. Taste testing on off-premise retail licensee's premises.   Subject to the conditions in subsection 2, the bureau may authorize an off-premise retail licensee stocking at least 12545 different wine labels to conduct taste testings of wine on that licensee's premises. Any other consumption of alcoholic beverages on an off-premise retail licensee's premises is prohibited.
 
SUMMARY
Current law allows an off-premise retail licensee stocking at least 125 different wine labels to conduct taste testings of wine on that licensee's premises. This bill reduces the number of labels to 45.
