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 out-of-state wineries. The bill also introduces a supplemental wine production facility sublicense, enabling license holders to produce wine at an additional facility they own or lease, with the stipulation that this wine can be transferred to the main winery for sale. Importantly, the bill mandates that at least 50% of the wine sold by a licensee each year must be produced on their licensed premises.

Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to winery operations, such as "product" and "sampling," and promotes gender-neutral language by replacing terms like "his" with "those." It ensures that wine sold to another winery does not count towards the seller's production total but is included in the purchasing winery's total. The fee for obtaining the supplemental wine production facility sublicense is set at $750, and the bill aims to modernize the regulatory framework for wineries in New Jersey, fostering collaboration and competitiveness within the state's wine industry.
