Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes to the contrary, no wholesaler permittee shall refuse to sell alcohol, spirits or wine to any retail permittee, without regard to the location of such retail permittee's place of business if (1) such retail permittee is willing to accept delivery at such wholesaler permittee's place of distribution, (2) such retail permittee meets any reasonable conditions imposed upon other retail permittees located within such wholesaler permittee's geographic territory and (3) the item of alcohol spirits or wine sought by such retail permittee is not available from any wholesaler permittee serving a geographic territory in which such retail permittee's place of business is located or is only available from such a wholesaler permittee at a higher price. Any agreement entered into on or after June 8, 1981, which conflicts with the terms of this section shall be void. As used in this section, the term “retail permittee” means the holder of a permit allowing the sale of alcoholic liquor for on or off-premises consumption.
