Section 13.76. Special order listings

(a) It is the intent of this section that vendors shall not compete on special order with items sold to the Board as stock merchandise.

(b) No brand of liquor will be accepted for special order listing unless such brand conforms with the requirements of the Board for listing as stock merchandise.

(c) All listings of liquor, except wine, shall be limited to case quantities, containing not less than 240 fluid ounces unless specially authorized by the Board. Listings of wines and liquors in quarts will not be accepted if 4/5 quarts of the same brand are sold as stock merchandise. Listings in 4/5 quarts will not be accepted if the same brand is sold in quarts as stock merchandise. Other listings will be at the discretion of the Board.

(d) If a vendor has a brand of liquor, except wine, listed as stock merchandise, the Board will not accept for listing by him any other brand of the same class, unless the cost to the Board is at least $3.00 per case more than the cost of the brand listed as stock merchandise, except where specially authorized.

(e) Change of proof or age will not be considered as a different class except when such change in proof or age causes a change in class under Federal law or regulations.

(f) If a vendor has a brand of liquor except wine, listed as stock merchandise and stocked in the State Liquor Stores in two or more bottle sizes, he may not list the same brand in an additional bottle size on special order under this section unless specially authorized by the Board.

(g) If a vendor has any stock listed brand of United States wine selling at the lowest price, the Board will not accept from him for special liquor order listing another brand of the same type that would sell for the same or a lower price.

(h) No listing of combination cases or assortments containing whiskies or dry gins will be accepted by the Board. No listing will be effective, nor shall prices be quoted, nor orders solicited, until such listing has been approved by the Board and the selling prices formally released in writing to the vendor. The cost prices upon which such selling prices are based will not become effective until the selling prices are released.

(i) The Board reserves the right to cancel any special order listing at any time or list any brands of liquor as stock merchandise.
