SB 2916 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages; authorize the sale of wine in grocery stores.

SB 2916 would allow Mississippi grocery stores to sell wine in sealed, unopened containers for off-premises consumption, but not beer or alcohol for on-site drinking. It creates a new "grocery store wine-only retailer" permit, requiring stores to derive at least 50% of revenue from wine sales and prohibiting beer sales at these locations. The bill amends existing alcohol laws to define "grocery store," set license taxes, and clarify that wine sales must be in original sealed packages. This directly affects grocery stores seeking to expand alcohol offerings under new permit rules.
