HB 674 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages; authorize the sale of wine at grocery stores.

This bill allows Mississippi grocery stores to sell wine in sealed, unopened bottles for take-home consumption. It requires stores with this new "wine-only" permit to earn at least 50% of their revenue from wine sales (excluding beer), prohibits on-premises consumption, and limits ownership to six such permits per person. Grocery stores must apply for this specific permit from the state Department of Revenue, and wine sales cannot include beer or other alcohol types. The law updates existing alcohol regulations to permit this change while maintaining key restrictions.
