engages in the business of supplying alcoholic beverages to licensed wholesale dealers in Louisiana.
“Retail dealer” means every person who offers for sale, exposes for sale, has in his possession for sale or dis-
tribution, or sells alcoholic beverages in any quantity to persons other than licensed wholesale or retail dealers.
“Wine producer” means any person who, directly or indirectly, personally or through any agency, cultivates and grows
grapes, fruits, berries, honey, or vegetables from which wine of an alcoholic content is excess of six percent by volume
