No person, except a wholesaler or manufacturer to the extent authorized under state license, and the municipal liquor dispensary shall directly or indirectly deal in, sell or keep for sale in the city any wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume without an on-sale wine license. An on-sale license authorizes the sale of wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume for consumption of the licensee’s 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 therefor, 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.
