Legislation that would allow Wisconsin liquor retailers to offer up to three shots of liquor to customers is seeking co-sponsorship.
Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc, is floating a bill that would allow customers to have up to three half-fluid ounce samples of liquor between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. while shopping.
Present state law permits retailers to offer customers limited amounts of wine and beer during the same hours.
"Tastings are an effective way of encouraging adult consumers to sample, compare and ultimately choose new liquor products," Kleefisch said in a release.
43 states currently have legislation that allows liquor tastings at retail establishments.
Kleefisch hopes to secure co-sponsorship by Dec. 15.
