Allows production of certain religious wine and sale on premises of religious institutions.

This bill (S 697) would allow religious institutions in New Jersey to produce and sell specific types of wine on their premises. It modifies existing alcohol licensing laws (R.S.33:1-10) to create a new provision for religious wine production, enabling qualified religious organizations to brew and sell wine directly to patrons at their facilities. The bill does not change general alcohol sales rules but adds a targeted exception for religious use. It is currently pending in the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
