Wine lovers still couldn't buy a glass of their favorite drink at this year's Kansas State Fair even though a new state law permitted such sales.

Fair officials considered selling wine by the glass this year but decided not to after realizing that it would require a third party vendor to set up and manage a wine garden.

Now, fair and Kansas wineries are working toward offering wine
at next year's fair.

The only chance to get wine at the fair is a wine tasting event held for a few hours on opening night.

Several Kansas wine makers said they were disappointed.

The law that approved wine sales by the glass at the fair included other benefits for Kansas wineries, including shipping directly to out of state customers and tamper proof wine doggie bags at restaurants.
