This bill amends New Jersey's winery licensing laws to enhance the operational flexibility of winery license holders. It allows plenary winery license holders who produce no more than 250,000 gallons of wine annually to sell their products to other plenary or farm winery license holders for retail sale on their licensed premises, as well as to wineries outside of New Jersey, without these sales counting towards their annual production limits. Additionally, the bill introduces a supplemental wine production facility license, enabling winery license holders to produce wine at an additional facility they own or lease, with production from this facility included in their total annual production calculations.

The bill also clarifies that plenary winery license holders must cultivate grapes or fruit on at least three acres and outlines the conditions for entering into alternating proprietorship agreements. It mandates that at least 50 percent of the wine sold by a license holder must be produced on their own premises and establishes fees associated with the new supplemental license. Furthermore, the bill updates various sections to replace gender-specific terms with neutral language, promoting inclusivity in the legal text. Overall, the legislation aims to modernize and streamline the regulatory framework governing wineries in New Jersey.
