TASTING EVENTS
§ 13.211. Tasting events.
(a) Tastings may be conducted by sponsors upon licensed or unlicensed premises.
(b) Sponsors conducting a tasting event shall adhere to the following requirements:
(1) Products used shall be legally procured and properly registered and taxes on the products shall be paid.
(2) Purchase requirements may not be associated with the tasting.
(3) Products offered will not exceed a standard size alcoholic beverage for that product. For example, if wine is offered, each glass of each wine offered to a participant will not exceed 4 ounces in volume. A tasting event comparing a brand of Chardonnay from California to a brand of Chardonnay from France would allow the participant to receive one 4-ounce glass of each Chardonnay.
