The holder of an unfortified winery permit may:
- Manufacture unfortified wine
- Sell, deliver and ship unfortified wine in closed containers to wholesalers licensed under this Chapter as authorized by the ABC laws, except that wine may be sold to exporters and nonresident wholesalers only when the purchase is not for resale in this state
- Receive, in closed containers, unfortified wine produced outside North Carolina under the winery's label from grapes, berries, or other fruits owned by the winery, and sell, deliver, and ship that wine to wholesalers, exporters, and nonresident wholesalers in the same manner as its wine manufactured in North Carolina. This provision may be used only by a winery during its first three years of operation or when there is substantial damage to its grapes, berries, or other fruits from catastrophic crop loss. This provision may be used only three years out of every 10 years and notice must be given to the Commission each time this provision is used.
- Ship its wine in closed containers to individual purchasers inside and outside this state
- Furnish or sell "short-filled" packages, on which State taxes have been or will be paid, to its employees for the use of the employees or their families and guests in this state
- Regardless of the results of any local wine election, sell the wine owned by the winery for on- or off-premise consumption upon obtaining the appropriate permit under G.S. 18B-1001
- Sell the wine owned by the winery for on- or off-premise consumption at no more than three other locations in the state, upon obtaining the appropriate permit under G.S. 18B-1001
- Obtain a wine wholesaler permit to sell, deliver, and ship at wholesale unfortified wine manufactured at the winery. The authorization of this subdivision applies only to a winery that annually sells, to persons other than exporters and nonresident wholesalers when the purchase is not for resale in this state, no more than 300,000 gallons of unfortified wine manufactured by it at the winery.
