S 3614 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Dedicates sales tax revenues collected on retail sales of locally produced wine for promotion of New Jersey wine.

This bill creates a dedicated "New Jersey Wine Promotion Account" within the Department of Agriculture, funded by two specific revenue streams: $0.47 per gallon from wine sales by wineries, and sales tax revenue from retail sales of New Jersey-produced wine (excluding sales by restaurants primarily serving meals). The funds will support research, development, and promotion of New Jersey wine, following recommendations from the state's Wine Industry Advisory Council. It applies to wine sold in bottles, containers, or by the glass at winery locations, but excludes restaurants with regular dining services. The account ensures these tax revenues directly support the state's wine industry through targeted programs.
