Ohio bill would let wine-makers sell their products at farmers markets

COLUMBUS — Ohio wine-makers could obtain special permits to sell their products at farmers markets under legislation being considered in the Ohio House.

HB 178 would create a new “F-10” liquor permit that would allow sale of small samples and bottles of wine.

The new permits could be issued to holders of wine manufacturing licenses. And, with permission from farmers market organizers, they would be allowed to sell tasting samples up to 2 ounces and bottles of wine, the latter for consumption off the premises.

The permits would cost $100 and would be effective for one year.
