The bill provides additional exceptions to the limitation on the size of individual wine containers that may be sold in Florida. The bill allows the sale of glass containers holding 4.5 liters, 6 liters, 9 liters, 12 liters, or 15 liters of wine. Under current law, a wine container sold in Florida may not hold more than one gallon, unless the container is reusable and holds 5.16 gallons. One gallon is equal to approximately 3.78 liters.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2024.
