(A) No person, except a wholesaler or manufacturer to the extent authorized under a state license, shall directly or indirectly deal in, sell, or keep for sale in the city any wine without an on-sale wine license. An on-sale wine license authorizes the sale of wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume, for consumption on the licensed premises only, in conjunction with the sale of food. An on-sale wine license may be issued only to a restaurant having facilities for seating not fewer than 25 guests at one time. For purposes of this subchapter, a restaurant means an establishment, under the control of a single proprietor or manager, having appropriate facilities for serving meals, and where, in consideration of payment thereof, meals are regularly served at tables to the general public, and which employs an adequate staff to provide the usual and suitable service to its guests.
