The holder of a license pursuant to this section shall not be disqualified from holding a beer license, a retail wine license or wine by the drink license for the sale of beer or wine at the licensed premises on the grounds that the licensee is also a manufacturer, wholesaler, stockholder, shareholder, partner or the owner of any interest in any corporation, association or partnership financially interested in the manufacture, transportation or sale of liquor, beer or wine.
