Question juridique clé
Whether a tobacco specialty shop has the required natural connection with alcoholic beverages under § 89 Abs. 2 WG.
Solution extraite
Yes. The natural connection between tobacco goods and alcoholic beverages can be accepted; the refusal could not be based on § 89 Abs. 2 WG.
Motifs extraits
The term 'natural connection' is open-textured and does not compel a strict limitation to food shops. Tobacco products are also consumables and, like alcoholic drinks, are enjoyment goods with comparable retail characteristics. A tobacco specialty shop therefore falls within the provision, whereas a kiosk with a typical kiosk assortment would not.
