The Virginia Beer Wholesalers Association supports the proposed amendments to the tied house regulations, but believes that the Authority should consider making explicit that the general prohibition on cooperative advertising and providing “things of value” to retailers is as applicable to those operating in the “digital marketplace” as it is to “brick & mortar” retailers. It hardly seems logical that digital retailers of alcoholic beverages should not be subject to the same tied house constraints as their physical world counterparts.
