Direct wine shippers from small wineries must report sales and remit a surcharge to the New Hampshire liquor commission.

New Hampshire SB563 requires direct wine shippers from small wineries to submit monthly reports to the liquor commission. These reports must detail the quantity of wine sold, the names and addresses of licensees and consumers, the price of each sale, and the total surcharge collected. All sales must comply with RSA 179:5. The liquor commission can suspend or revoke a direct wine shipper license for violations. The bill also mandates a 25 percent surcharge on all sales, which must be remitted to the commission by the 15th day of the month following the sale. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.
