Prepared by the Research Division of the Texas Legislative Council

Published by the Texas Legislative Council P.O. Box 12128 Austin, Texas 78711-2128

Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, Joint Chair Speaker Joe Straus, Joint Chair Debbie Irvine, Executive Director December 2012 Explanation of Table

This publication, prepared at the request of Senator John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Business and Commerce, provides information regarding permits and licenses required for producing, bottling, shipping, selling, and serving wine in California, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. These nine states were selected based on the 2011 Summary of the United States Wine Industry report by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The following table provides, by state, the name of the license or permit (column 2), the relevant activities authorized under the license or permit (column 3), the license or permit fee (most often an annual payment, column 4), and citations of the relevant state statutes and policies. The applicable provisions are summarized in the table, and the full text of each provision may be viewed by selecting the hyperlinked citation. Most license and permit fees are defined in statute. For other license and permit fees, such information was provided by the state's regulatory authority for alcoholic beverage licenses. For some licenses and permits, column 2 includes certain requirements for operating under the license or permit. For example, California requires the holder of a winegrower's license to actually produce on the licensed premises not less than 50 percent of all wines sold to consumers on the licensed premises and any licensed branch premises by conversion of grapes, berries, or other fruits. However, this type of requirement is included in the table only if it is specified in the provision delineating the activities authorized under the license or permit.

The table includes licenses and permits specific to wine only or beer and wine only. The table does not include licenses and permits that regulate liquor only or liquor in conjunction with beer or wine. The authorized activities listed for each license and permit are limited to those related to producing, bottling, shipping, selling, and serving wine and are not an exhaustive list of all activities authorized under the license or permit. Also, the table does not include wine-related licenses and permits that are temporary or issued for a limited purpose. Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington each issue a license or permit, as applicable, that authorizes the licensee to conduct activities other than those authorized by the general license if the licensee pays an additional annual fee and meets certain other requirements. For example, a Michigan wine maker licensee is authorized, under certain conditions, to conduct tastings of wines made by the licensee and to sell the wine for off-premises consumption for an additional fee of $100 per location.
