HB 1016 adds an exception to the rule preventing manufacturers and wholesalers from having financial interests in retail alcohol businesses, allowing certain transactions under a separate law (§ 35-5-3.2). The bill also expands who can obtain special event wine licenses to include farm winery licensees, and restricts those licensees to selling only wine made by farm wineries.
