Bill > H6015

This bill modifies Florida's existing law regarding the size of individual wine containers by removing the word "reusable" from the current statute, which means that containers holding 5.16 gallons of wine no longer need to specifically be reusable to be legally sold. The bill maintains the existing restrictions that generally prohibit selling wine in individual containers larger than 1 gallon, with specific exceptions for larger glass containers of 4.5, 6, 9, 12, and 15 liters. The law continues to allow qualified distributors and manufacturers to sell wine to each other in containers of any size, and it preserves the requirement that wine sold for off-premises consumption must remain in its original, unopened container. Violations of this statute remain a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable under existing Florida law. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing ample time for businesses and distributors to adjust to the modified regulation.
