In Rice v. Alcoholic Bev. etc. Appeals Bd. (1978) 21 Cal.3d 431, the California Supreme Court unanimously determined that the price maintenance provisions relating to the retail sale of distilled spirits were in violation of the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and that no legitimate state interest outweighed the policies of the Sherman Act. ( Id., at p. 459.) The court declared the price maintenance provisions relating to retail sales of distilled spirits invalid. (Ibid.)
