Indiana HB1291 allows wine retailers to offer self-service for sealed wine bottles if wine sales constitute at least 60% of annual gross income.

Indiana HB1291 amends the state's alcohol regulations to allow wine retailers to permit customers to self-serve sealed bottles of wine for off-premises consumption. This provision applies only to wine retailers where wine sales account for at least 60% of the annual gross income. The bill specifies that the self-service area must be well-lit and within clear view of the main entrance. Additionally, the bill mandates that sealed bottles be placed in bags labeled "CONTAINS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES" and outlines procedures for wine delivery to customers.
