There are several provincial laws by which we must abide when operating in-store wineries. For instance, store owner or staff are not permitted to bottle wine on a customer’s behalf. Wine will be set aside until the customer can come in and bottle it personally.

Several basic provincial laws we must all abide by:

• Winemakers must be of legal drinking age to use in-store winery services.
• Wine sampling prior to purchase is not permitted.
• Wine sampling prior to bottling (the day of) is limited to 150ml (five ounces) per batch by the winemaker whose name appears on the contract.
• Winemaker’s assistants must be of legal drinking age.
