Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

Nelson's Mayor has kicked off a conversation about whether alcohol licensing laws are too strict.  Nick Smith was unable to buy a bottle of wine at the Ready to Roll concert on Sunday, at Neudorf Vineyards in Nelson.   It was being sold by the cup – the rule in place thought to be an effort to stop intoxication.  New Zealand Winegrowers Chair Fabian Yukich told Ryan Bridge there should be a little common sense.   He says you can try to cut out every possibility of everything going wrong, but in the end that becomes impractical.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
