Florida: Under the new law (HB 583), wine will be allowed for purchase up to 15 liters, which is almost four gallons, according to the legislation. The law will be effective on July 1.
“Prior to signing this bill, a bottle like this was not able to be sold in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said, pointing toward larger sized bottles ranging from 6 to 15 liters. “We want our businesses to thrive, we want our consumers to be happy, and if that means that they want to buy and sell a big ‘ole bottle of wine like this, then by golly they’re going to be able to do that in the state of Florida, ” he said.
The new law “also allows Florida to be competitive with other states who are already selling wine in these larger quantities,” said Melanie Griffin, the secretary for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Note: Under current state law, wine distributors and manufacturers are allowed to sell wine to other distributors and manufacturers in containers of any size, but regular #Floridians are prohibited from purchasing wine in containers larger than one gallon.
