AB509,1,2 1An Act to create 125.53 (3) of the statutes; relating to: taste samples of
2fermented apple or pear cider provided by a winery.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows a Wisconsin winery to provide taste samples of cider produced
by another Wisconsin winery.
Current law defines “wine" to include products that contain at least 0.5 percent
but not more than 21 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) and that are obtained from
the fermentation of grapes or other fruits, including fermented apple or pear cider.
A winery permit authorizes the manufacture and bottling of wine on the winery
premises for sale to wholesalers and the provision of taste samples on the winery
premises of wine manufactured on the premises.
This bill authorizes a winery to provide, on the winery premises and without
charge, taste samples of cider manufactured by another Wisconsin winery. For
purposes of the bill, “cider" means fermented apple or pear cider with an alcohol
content not exceeding 7 percent ABV. The bill also allows a Wisconsin winery to
provide cider to another Wisconsin winery for use by the other winery in providing
taste samples.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
