City of Vancouver Withdraws Anti-Wine Bylaw
mhicken November 3rd, 2009
Sanity has prevailed at City Hall. The City of Vancouver has withdrawn the proposed “anti-wine” bylaw and it will not be considered in its original form. The bylaw would have required restaurants to monitor food and liquor sales and ensure that food sales always exceeded liquor sales in any 8 hour period. The law was administratively unworkable and could have seriously affected the sale of fine wines which would have skewed sales to liquor in the absence of huge expenditures on corresponding amounts of food. There will now be a “rethink” and further consultation with the industry.
