A 370 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies certain responsibilities of licensed wineries and retail salesrooms.

This bill clarifies that retail salesroom owners/operators - not wineries - are responsible for ensuring no one under 21 purchases or consumes wine at their location. It requires all staff selling wine to complete mandatory training before working and receive annual refresher training. The law specifies that only "authorized" staff (trained employees) may sell wine, and they must verify customers are of legal age. Violating these rules constitutes a disorderly persons offense, potentially leading to fines or court-ordered bans on alcohol service at the premises.
