Bill Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, in conjunction with the State Board of Agriculture, to develop and implement a "Jersey Vines Program" to encourage, advertise, and promote the sale of wine produced in the State by plenary winery and farm winery licensees. The wines promoted by the program would be produced using grapes, fruits, and other ingredients that are cultivated and grown in New Jersey. The Jersey Vines Program would increase consumer awareness of the New Jersey wine industry, organize advertising campaigns and create marketing programs to promote wine produced in the State, disseminate information about the variety and availability of wine produced in the State, disseminate information about certain wineries, vineyards, and farms in the State, and create a labeling program (similar to the "Jersey Fresh" program) to identify wine produced in the State as "Jersey Vines" wine.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the "Jersey Vines Program" within the Department of Agriculture, which will be developed and implemented by the Secretary of Agriculture in collaboration with the State Board of Agriculture to boost the sales of wine made in New Jersey by licensed plenary wineries and farm wineries. The program will focus on wines made from ingredients grown in the state, aiming to increase public knowledge of the New Jersey wine industry through advertising campaigns, marketing initiatives, and by sharing information about the variety and availability of local wines, as well as details about the wineries, vineyards, and farms involved in their production. A key component of the program will be a "Jersey Vines" labeling system, similar to the existing "Jersey Fresh" program, to clearly identify wines produced in the state.
