Establishes license to allow wineries that produce more than 250,000 gallons per year to directly ship wine to consumers.
Bill S 2166 would allow New Jersey wineries producing more than 250,000 gallons of wine annually to ship directly to consumers. This amendment to New Jersey's alcohol licensing law (R.S.33:1-10) creates a new licensing category for larger producers, removing current restrictions that prevent direct shipping. The bill specifically affects established wineries meeting the production threshold, enabling them to sell and deliver wine directly to customers without requiring a distributor. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 13, 2026, and referred to the Commerce Committee for review.
