Simon BerryMr Berry wanted to sell packages of wine and cheese both online and at the factory shop. Mr Berry said the way licences were approved should be reviewed, and possibly changed to a case-by-case system. The Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority denied Wests’ application after the Dunedin district licensing committee’s decision to grant the business a licence was appealed. It would be almost impossible for Wests to regain its liquor licence if the Act was not amended, Mr Loretan said. Mr Loretan and Mr Berry were pleased their concerns had been considered, though both said it would not be a quick process.
