4. Any vintage wine solicitor licensed under section 311.180 may register as the primary American source of supply for vintage wine with the division of alcohol and tobacco control, provided that another solicitor is not registered as the primary American source of supply for the vintage wine and the vintage wine has been approved for sale by the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
