Pennsylvania SB703 allows limited wineries to obtain a permit to distill brandy for fortifying wine.

Pennsylvania SB703 amends the Liquor Code to allow holders of a limited winery license to obtain a farm winery distillers permit. This permit allows the holder to distill brandy for fortifying wine, using only grapes and other fruits grown on their premises. The permit requires an annual fee of $250 and prohibits the sale or transfer of the distilled brandy within the state. This change aims to promote tourism and recreational development in Pennsylvania.
