A requirement by a wholesaler that a retailer purchase one product in order to purchase another is prohibited. This prohibition includes combination sales if one or more products may be purchased only in combination with other products and not individually. However, a wholesaler is not prohibited from selling at a special combination price two or more kinds or brands of products to a retailer, provided:
(a) the retailer has the option of purchasing either or both products at the usual price, and
(b) the retailer is not required to purchase any product he or she does not want. As to (a) and (b) above, wholesaler licensees shall not be required to sell or deliver beer to a retail licensee in quantities of less than five (5) cases.
