Toast antics may put stopper on bottle sales (NZ)

Post-festival wine sales from marquees in the town square could be axed from next year’s Toast Martinborough amid fallout from the boozy weekend event. Allan’s Party Bus operator Allan Marshall says vineyards were selling bottles of “take home” wine to “staggering” drunks in The Square after Sunday’s festival so they could keep drinking. He believes their action breached the Sale of Liquor Act, which makes it illegal to sell alcohol to anyone who is drunk, reports The Dominion Post.
