HF 458: Relating to native winery retail alcohol licenses

What it does

This bill creates a new special class “C” retail native wine license which can be obtained by a person engaged in the business of manufacturing native wine. The license authorizes the holder to sell native wine purchased from a native winery holding a class “A” wine permit and beer from class “A” beer permittees and class “B” and class “E” retail alcohol licensees only at retail for consumption on or off the premises. A person holding the new special class “C” retail native wine license is also allowed to make sales of native wine in a container other than the original container only if certain requirements related to transferring the wine and sealing the container are met.
