Description
Alcoholic beverage control; privileges of holders of certain multiple licenses; distiller's remote license. Provides that a licensed distiller who is an agent of the ABC Board shall earn a 30 percent commission on all sales of spirits in closed containers sold on such agent's licensed premises. The bill also allows a person holding multiple licenses for the manufacture of wine, beer, spirits, or cider to provide samples of any alcoholic beverage produced on the licensed premises to persons under certain conditions. The bill creates a new Virginia distiller's remote license, which authorizes the owners, employees, or authorized representatives of licensed distillers whose premises are wholly contained within Virginia to sell or give samples of alcoholic beverages of the type specified in the license at licensed events held by the licensee or at a festival or event already authorized by a banquet, banquet special event, or manufacturer multi-day event license. The bill sets other privileges and limitations on this new license and sets the state and local license taxes. The bill also eliminates the volume limits on samples at distillery stores (agents of the ABC Board) or government stores and allows samples to be given so long as the person consuming the alcoholic beverages is not under age or intoxicated.
