The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to allow holders of plenary winery licenses, farm winery licenses, and Out-of-State winery licenses to jointly control and operate salesrooms, which was previously prohibited. This change aims to enhance consumer choice by enabling these licensees to collaborate and offer a wider variety of wines in a shared salesroom environment. Additionally, the bill permits wineries producing not more than 250,000 gallons of wine annually to ship up to 12 cases of wine per year to individuals over 21 for personal consumption, with specific regulations regarding shipment and invoice inspection.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new fee structure for the Out-of-State winery license, establishing a fee of $938 for the license and a graduated fee for additional privileges based on production volume. It also maintains existing requirements for winery license holders, such as the necessity to grow grapes or fruit on at least three acres and restrictions on ownership interests based on production levels. The legislation aims to modernize the licensing process, promote collaboration among wine producers, and ensure compliance with current alcohol licensing laws.
