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 sublicense, enabling license holders to produce wine at an additional facility they own or lease, with production from this facility included in total annual production calculations for licensing purposes.

The bill also clarifies that at least 50 percent of the wine sold by a license holder must be produced on their own premises and outlines the conditions for entering into alternating proprietorship agreements. It updates various definitions, including the inclusion of hard cider and mead in the definition of wine, and sets the fee for the supplemental sublicense at $750. Furthermore, it replaces gender-specific terms with neutral language to promote inclusivity in the legal text. Overall, the bill aims to streamline regulations while maintaining necessary oversight in the wine industry.
