This 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, a change from previous law that prohibited such arrangements. This amendment aims to enhance collaboration among wineries and expand sales opportunities by allowing a greater variety of wines to be available at a single location. Additionally, the bill permits these license holders who produce no 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 on volume and record-keeping.

The bill also maintains existing regulations regarding wine production and sales, including the requirement for license holders to cultivate grapes or fruit on at least three acres and the prohibition against holding certain licenses concurrently. It outlines various licensing fees, such as a $938 fee for Out-of-State winery licenses, and includes definitions for "sampling," "hard cider," and "mead," along with regulations for their production and sale. Overall, the bill aims to streamline operations for winery licensees and improve consumer choice in the marketplace.
