Alcoholic beverages: tied house restrictions: Sonoma County.
(1) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act generally prohibits a manufacturer, winegrower, distiller, bottler, or wholesaler, among other licensees, or agents of these licensees, from paying a retailer for advertising. The act creates a variety of exceptions from this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee that is an owner, manager, or major tenant of certain stadiums, parks, entertainment complexes, and arenas, subject to specified conditions. Existing law requires the purchase of advertising space or time in this context to be conducted pursuant to a written contract with the on-sale licensee, with a specified exception. Existing law defines a beer manufacturer for these specific purposes as including any holder of an out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate or any holder of a beer and wine importer's general license. Existing law makes it a crime for an on-sale licensee to coerce certain licensees to purchase advertising space or time, as specified.
