Designates Cabernet Franc as the state red wine grape
New York's bill A 10317 designates Cabernet Franc as the state's official red wine grape, effective immediately. This symbolic designation does not change any laws affecting wine production, sales, or industry regulations. It formally recognizes Cabernet Franc as the representative red wine grape for New York State, replacing any prior designation under state law. The bill has no practical impact on winemakers, consumers, or state policy beyond this ceremonial recognition.
