Mich. Admin. Code R. 436.1719 - Requirements for sale of bottled wine
Rule 19.
(1) Bottled
wine shall not be offered for sale, kept for sale, sold, delivered, or
otherwise introduced into this state unless all of the following provisions
have been complied with:
(a) The wine is
bottled, packaged, marked, branded, and labeled under these rules.
(b) The wine label truthfully describes the
contents of the container pursuant to these rules and the federal wine
regulations published in 27 C.F.R. part 4, §§ 4.1 to
4.101(2014)
that are adopted in these rules by reference. Copies of the adopted provisions
may be obtained either from the Superintendent of Documents, United States
Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402 or from the gpo website
at http://bookstore.gpo.gov/ at
a cost of $37.00 each as of the time of adoption of these rules, or free of
charge from the gpo website at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/. Copies of these
provisions may also be obtained from the Liquor Control Commission, Department
of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, 525 W. Allegan, P.O. Box 30005, Lansing,
Michigan 48909, at a cost of $43.00 each as of the time of adoption of these
rules.
(c) The wine has received a
registration number of approval from the commission.
(2) Bottled wine shall not be shipped,
delivered, or otherwise introduced into this state unless it is accompanied by
an invoice, manifest, or other shipping document listing the quantity of
bottled wine, by brand name and corresponding registration number of approval
that is being shipped, delivered, or introduced into this state. The
registration number of approval referenced in this subrule is not required to
be on the invoice of a Michigan licensed direct shipper for wine shipped to a
consumer in this state 21 years of age or older. This does not relieve the
Michigan licensed direct shipper from complying with the requirement to obtain
a registration number of approval for any wine product shipped into this
state.
(3) A manufacturer,
rectifier, or outstate seller of wine who is responsible for labeling shall
furnish proof, upon request, that valid certificates of approval for the label
have been obtained from, and are unrevoked under, the federal labeling
requirements as published in 27 C.F.R. part 4, subpart D, §§ 4.1 to
4.80, of 1935, as amended. If a certificate of label approval is not required
by the United States alcohol and tobacco tax and trade bureau, the
manufacturer, rectifier, or outstate seller of wine must submit an electronic
copy of the label.
(4) A shipment
of bottled wine from a manufacturer or an outstate seller of wine shall be made
only to a licensed wholesaler at the address of the licensed premises, except
upon written order of the commission.
