HB 1636 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Eliminating the per transaction limit for wine and spirit sales.

House Bill 1636 eliminates the per-transaction volume limit for spirits sales made by certain licensed retailers in Washington State. Specifically, it removes the previous cap of 24 liters per single sale when combination spirits, beer, and wine licensees sell spirits to other retailers for resale. This change aims to simplify the administration of wine and spirit sales. The bill directly affects retailers holding a combination spirits, beer, and wine license and other licensed establishments purchasing spirits from them.
