Are children harmed by observing wine tastings?

By Mark Fisher | Monday, August 24, 2009, 03:35 PM

Legislators in Maine have voted to ban children from observing wine tastings, according to the Kennebec Journal. The new law will take effect Sept. 12.

Presumably, lawmakers felt children would be harmed by viewing such behavior.

Take a look at what my fellow wine blogger Tom Wark thinks of the legislation. I’ll give you a hint: The entry’s headline is “Attack of the Stupid Wine Legislation.”

Would a law like this pass in Ohio?
