relative to direct shippers of wine.
SB 563 requires small out-of-state wineries (producing under 5,000 cases yearly) to obtain a New Hampshire license to ship wine directly to consumers and businesses in the state. It mandates a 25% fee on all sales, monthly reporting of sales details, and annual license renewal. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and replaces existing rules for direct wine shippers, with revenue estimated to increase by $10,000-$100,000 annually.
