All such manufacturers, or their designated representatives, shall be required to mail to the board prior to the tenth day of the month a consolidated report of all shipments of table wine made to each wine wholesaler or importer in Alabama during the preceding month. Such reports shall be certified as true and correct and shall be a complete listing of all items shipped, an invoice setting out the quantities purchased and the price quotation showing at what price such wines were sold, the size, type, brand label and point of destination and such other information as the board may prescribe.
