who markets his product solely through a subsidiary or subsidiaries,
a distiller, rectifier, bottler, winemaker, brewer, or importer of
alcoholic beverages, bottled or made in a foreign country, either
within or without this state, shall be required to sell such brands

distributor who desires to purchase the same, on the same price basis
and without discrimination, and shall further be required to sell
