Wisconsin alcohol sales must be face to face

According to Wisconsin Law, statue 125.51(6), 125.272 alcohol beverage sales must be made face to face with buyer and seller both physically present at the licensed premises. The exceptions have to do with hotel rooms and caterers.

Here are a few scenarios that would likely be against the law:

During the Christmas holidays, some customers call  a retailer and have gift baskets with wine, cheese, etc. made up which are then delivered by the licensed retailer’s employees to the homes of the recipients of the gift basket (similar to a delivery of a flower arrangement).  Some of the customers who order the gift baskets request that a couple bottles of wines be included in the gift basket.

Some homebound customers call in grocery orders to  a licensed retailer and the retailer’s  employees deliver the groceries to the customers home.  Some of the call in orders include requests for beer, wine, and liquor.

Both of these scenarios are illegal.

Madison fines 3 University of Wisconsin students $86,000 for party

MADISON (AP) – The city of Madison is fining three University of Wisconsin-Madison students more than $86,000 for a house party.

Twenty-one-year-old Travis Ludy, 20-year-old Mitchell Klatt and 20-year-old Kevin Tracy face 130 citations for things like dispensing alcohol without a permit, procuring alcohol for an underage person and adult encouraging underage alcohol consumption. The students also could face university discipline.

Madison police say the men could have faced a smaller fine if they hadn’t locked doors and turned off the music and lights when officers arrived Sept. 11.
