MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Chambers of commerce around Wisconsin can promote local retailers with wine walks without fear of breaking the law. Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill that legalizes the wine walks. The events have become important fundraisers for business groups. Retailers that usually don’t offer food or beverages serve wine and snacks to participants. State revenue officials earlier indicated the events were prohibited under the law. The bill signed Wednesday allows municipalities to issue temporary alcohol licenses that cover multiple locations in a single day.
