MOSCOW, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Russia's industries and trade ministry has proposed drastic limits on beer sales, a document obtained by Reuters showed on Tuesday and industry experts said the proposal could affect over 25 percent of sales in Russia.

The ministry said in its documents it was proposing changes to legislation that would ban sales of beer via kiosks and in markets without affecting big shops and supermarkets.

It has also asked to set strict time limits on alcohol sales and introduce minimum wholesale and retail selling prices for all alcoholic beverages, including beer.

The proposals have yet to be reviewed and approved by the government and parliament.
