The bill S. 22 proposes an amendment to Section 61-4-770 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the sale of wines in licensed alcoholic liquor stores. The key change in this legislation is to increase the allowable alcohol content in wines sold from sixteen and one-half percent to twenty percent. This adjustment aims to expand the range of wines available for sale in these establishments.

If enacted, the bill will allow wines with a higher alcohol content to be sold exclusively in licensed alcoholic liquor stores or in venues that are licensed to sell and permit the consumption of alcoholic liquors by the drink. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
