Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Native wineries gain more sales options

Starting July 1, 2026, eligible native wineries can sell at tasting rooms in their county and at one permanent satellite location elsewhere in Mississippi where alcohol sales are allowed. A native wine retailer with a Class 3 manufacturer’s permit can also offer drinks from other suppliers for customers to drink on-site.

Festival producers keep permits and pay tax

Eligible wine and spirit producers can keep getting festival permits after July 1, 2026. Each permit covers one festival with at least three vendors and allows sales for three consecutive days during local on-premises hours, including sealed bottles and free samples. Producers can hold a financial interest in a festival permit, and authorized festival sales remain exempt from the state wholesale rule. Permit holders must follow tax, fee, surcharge, reporting, and local-law requirements; the annual privilege tax remains $10 for each covered permit location.

Native wine retailers gain pickup choice

Starting July 1, 2026, retailers can choose to pick up native wine sold by the Department at the winery or one of its sales locations, subject to Department rules. The pickup option no longer covers distilled spirits or distillery retailers.
