Can manufacturers' on-site retail store customers consume samples in any area of the store?

  1. Yes, they can

  2. No, they must stay in designated areas

  3. Only in specific tasting rooms

  4. Only if accompanied by staff

The correct answer is: No, they must stay in designated areas

Customers in manufacturers' on-site retail stores must remain in designated areas when consuming samples. This regulation is in place to ensure that the consumption of samples is controlled and safe, rather than occurring in unrestricted areas of the store. Designated tasting areas allow for better management of quantities and types of samples being consumed, promoting responsible drinking practices and allowing staff to oversee the process. This also helps to ensure compliance with local laws and health regulations, which are critical for maintaining a safe environment for all customers. Consequently, while customers can enjoy samples, it is essential that they do so within specified parts of the store.
