Total Wine receives favorable ruling in Massachusetts pricing case
A Boston judge ruled this week that the Bethesda-based alcohol retailer did not violate Massachusetts pricing laws by selling alcohol at less than cost. The state's alcohol regulatory agency suspended two stores' licenses on the belief the company was selling certain liquors for $1 to $6 below the wholesale cost as “loss leaders,” something the state forbids. But the company sued and argued it was offering discounts. The judge found “there was clearly no predatory pricing carried out in this case.” [Boston Globe]
