INDIANA'S HB1190 IS THE LAST TO SURVIVE

House Bill 1190 is the last remaining piece of legislation in Indiana after HB 1036 was tabled this week. HB 1036 would have allowed wineries to participate in more festivals and sell their product at three off-site locations such as farmers’ markets or stores that offer wine-tastings. However, HB 1190 requires the use of wholesalers in all transactions and calls for a strict interpretation of Indiana alcohol law in the event of a court ruling.
