Florida Legalizes Sale of Larger Wine Bottles
Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill permitting the sale of wine bottles up to 15 liters, effective July 1.
- The new law allows the sale of wine in significantly larger containers, including sizes up to 15 liters, or nearly four gallons.
- Previously, Florida law restricted the sale of wine in containers larger than one gallon, with certain exceptions.
- The legislation received overwhelming support in both the Florida House of Representatives and state Senate, with only one dissenting vote.
- The change aims to eliminate outdated regulations, making Florida competitive with states that already allow the sale of wine in large quantities.
- Governor DeSantis emphasizes the move as beneficial for both businesses and consumers, allowing for greater freedom in wine sales.
