Sec.  6.72  ``Tie-in'' sales.

    The act by an industry member of requiring that a retailer purchase 
one product (as defined in Sec.  6.11) in order to obtain another 
constitutes a means to induce within the meaning of the Act. This 
includes the requirement to take a minimum quantity of a product in 
standard packaging in order to obtain the same product in some type of 
premium package, i.e., a distinctive decanter, or wooden or tin box. 
This also includes combination sales if one or more products may be 
purchased only in combination with other products and not individually. 
However, an industry member is not precluded from selling two or more 
kinds or brands of products to a retailer at a special combination 
price, provided the retailer has the option of purchasing either product 
at the usual price, and the retailer is not required to purchase any 
product it does not want. See Sec.  6.93 for combination packaging of 
products plus non-alcoholic items.
