SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Alcoholic beverage control; Class A farm wineries. Provides that, upon petition of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the ABC Board may also permit the use by a Class A farm winery of a lesser percentage of products grown or produced on the farm if unusually severe weather or disease conditions cause a significant reduction in the availability of fruit or other agricultural products grown or produced on the farm to manufacture wine during a given license year. Currently, upon a petition by VDACS, the ABC Board may permit the use of a greater quantity of out-of-state products if supplies grown or produced in the Commonwealth are insufficient for a farm winery licensee, whether Class A or Class B, to achieve the level of production that otherwise could be anticipated during a given license year.
