Alcoholic beverages; authorize the sale of wine at grocery stores.
HB 94 would allow grocery stores in Mississippi to sell wine in original sealed packages (not for on-premises consumption) under a new "wine-only retailer" license. Grocery stores obtaining this license must derive at least 50% of their revenue from wine sales and cannot sell beer. The bill also limits an individual to owning no more than six such licenses and revises permit requirements and tax rates for these stores. It directly affects grocery stores seeking to expand wine sales under these specific conditions.
