Item: Liquor chief's idea for in-store 'tasting' rejected/Jared S. Hopkins, Twin Falls Times-News

More Info: A free sample in a supermarket aisle can prompt a shopper's impulse buy of everything from pigs-in-a-blanket to mango flavored juice. Could a free shot of top-shelf booze also boost sales at state liquor stores? Idaho liquor czar Dyke Nally in July proposed free tastings at state-owned stores as a way to increase revenue, but officials in Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's Division of Financial Management balked at the idea. It was one of four ideas floated for vetting before formal presentation to the Legislature for approval.

Question: Do you see a problem with the state liquor stores offering free, in-store samples?
