Tags: Aquaculture

• A-4948: Clarify that the responsibility for ensuring any buyer of alcohol is at least 21 years of age or older rests on the retail outlet and its employees, and not the winery;
• A-4949: Authorize a temporary waiver to the requirement that farm wineries use at least 51 percent of grapes or fruit grown in New Jersey during the first five years of the winery’s inception while operations are getting off the ground;
• A-4950: Make the law governing winery salesrooms less cumbersome by requiring applications for winery salesrooms to be processed within 90 days, permitting wineries to vary certain fees associated with the salesrooms, and allowing wineries to provide samples of wine and sell wine in any area of a salesroom; and
• A-4951: Ease the current monthly requirement that alcohol licensees file a current price list with the ABC and instead require a price list to be filed prior to the initial sale of alcohol and subsequently only when the price of the alcoholic beverages changes.
