This bill amends New Jersey laws concerning the licensing and operation of wineries, specifically allowing holders of plenary winery licenses, out-of-State winery licenses, and farm winery licenses to sell their products by the glass for consumption in their licensed salesrooms. The term "by the glass" is defined as the sale of an individual portion of wine or wine mixed with non-alcoholic beverages in an open container. This change is intended to enhance consumer options and increase revenue for winery license holders. Additionally, the bill clarifies the language regarding the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages by replacing the term "his" with "those products" to ensure gender-neutrality.

The bill also outlines the requirements for obtaining various types of winery licenses, including plenary and farm winery licenses, and specifies the conditions under which these licenses can be issued. It establishes fees based on different production capacities and includes stipulations about sourcing ingredients, operating salesrooms, and shipping wine directly to consumers. The act is designed to modernize the regulatory framework for wineries in New Jersey, enhancing their ability to sell directly to consumers while ensuring compliance with state laws. The changes are set to take effect immediately upon passage.
