An act relating to vinous beverage manufacturers and fourth-class licenses

H.647 modifies Vermont's alcohol licensing rules for vinous beverage manufacturers (wine producers). It increases serving limits at fourth-class tasting rooms and retail shops: allowing up to 16 ounces of malt beverages/cider, 12 ounces of wine/RTDs, and limited spirits per customer. The bill also permits manufacturers to operate up to two first-class retail locations directly on their licensed manufacturing property or adjacent owned land. These changes would take effect on July 1, 2026, and directly affect licensed wineries seeking expanded retail operations.
