In some outlets you can also drink "on the spot" or for "takeaway" in units.

sell on a serving basis
I'd use a bit of a work-around here, e.g. "to sell X on a serving basis in the outlet" or "to sell X wodka on a serving basis in the outlet".

@Stephanie: I can't imagine this having anything to do with gifts, since serving the wodka is clearly associated with selling. As to 'schenkstatus', I think this may be an indication of whether or not the product concerned is to be held on stock explicitly for serving-based sale, or, to use Steeve's suggestion, for sale by the glass. This would also seem to fit in with the idea of mandatory and non-mandatory or optional stock ('verplichte voorraden' and 'niet-verplichte voorraden').
'Serving-based sale', by the way, might also be an option here!

Note from asker:
| In another document, there are 3 categories: schenkstatus, verplichte voorraaden and niet-verplichte vooraaden. Would this make any difference? Could this possibly have the idea of 'gift'? |
