how to legally sell?

Hi Terrbear,

Welcome to the wineboard!

My advice to you would be to contact your local BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). That is the bureau that regulates the sale of alcohol.

Understand though that this is a huge investment on your part. How much are you making? This could end up costing you a small fortune.

Being a beaucratic process, you might be subject to inspections, legal fees, copyrights for the name. In addition, they are going to want to know the amount of alcohol in the wine. If it's over 15% then you are moved into the port section and the tax will be higher.

I know companies who have spent 10's of thousands on just lables to satisfy BATF.

Look into it but be prepared to be shocked/disappointed. Giving it to friends as gifts might be your best bet.
