What’s in it
AI summary People with certain wine permits could sell wine in new containers instead of just the original bottles. To do this, an adult must pour the wine into a smaller container that holds no more than 35 ounces and seal it securely. These sealed containers will not be treated as illegal open containers if they are in a vehicle.1
