Bill Summary
Permits certain wineries to sell their products by the glass for consumption in licensed salesrooms.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to allow holders of plenary winery licenses and farm winery licenses to sell their wine by the glass for consumption on the premises of their licensed salesrooms, provided that these salesrooms are not located on the premises of a restaurant. The term "by the glass" is defined as selling an individual portion of wine, or wine mixed with non-alcoholic beverages, in an open container. This change expands the retail privileges for these types of wineries, allowing them to offer an additional way for consumers to enjoy their products on-site.
