A 2997 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows wineries that produce more than 250,000 gallons per year to directly ship certain wines to consumers.

This bill amends New Jersey's brewery licensing law (R.S.33:1-10) to adjust fees for limited brewery licenses, which permit producers to brew up to 300,000 barrels (31 gallons each) of malt alcoholic beverages annually. It also clarifies requirements for restricted brewery licenses, including a 10,000-barrel production cap and ties to restaurant operations. The bill text does not address wine production, direct wine shipping, or wineries - as suggested by the title - but exclusively covers brewery license classifications and fees. Introduced on January 13, 2026, it remains pending in the Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
