Section R. 436.1719 - Requirements for sale of bottled wineRule 19.
(1) Bottled wine shall not be offered for sale, kept for sale, sold, delivered, or otherwise introduced into this state unless all of the following provisions have been complied with:(a) The wine is bottled, packaged, marked, branded, and labeled under these rules.(b) The wine label truthfully describes the contents of the container pursuant to these rules and the federal wine regulations published in 27 C.F.R. part 4, §§ 4.1 to 4.101(2014) that are adopted in these rules by reference. Copies of the adopted provisions may be obtained either from the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402 or from the gpo website at http://bookstore.gpo.gov/ at a cost of $37.00 each as of the time of adoption of these rules, or free of charge from the gpo website at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/. Copies of these provisions may also be obtained from the Liquor Control Commission, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, 525 W. Allegan, P.O. Box 30005, Lansing, Michigan 48909, at a cost of $43.00 each as of the time of adoption of these rules.(c) The wine has received a registration number of approval from the commission.(2) Bottled wine shall not be shipped, delivered, or otherwise introduced into this state unless it is accompanied by an invoice, manifest, or other shipping document listing the quantity of bottled wine, by brand name and corresponding registration number of approval that is being shipped, delivered, or introduced into this state. The registration number of approval referenced in this subrule is not required to be on the invoice of a Michigan licensed direct shipper for wine shipped to a consumer in this state 21 years of age or older. This does not relieve the Michigan licensed direct shipper from complying with the requirement to obtain a registration number of approval for any wine product shipped into this state.(3) A manufacturer, rectifier, or outstate seller of wine who is responsible for labeling shall furnish proof, upon request, that valid certificates of approval for the label have been obtained from, and are unrevoked under, the federal labeling requirements as published in 27 C.F.R. part 4, subpart D, §§ 4.1 to 4.80, of 1935, as amended. If a certificate of label approval is not required by the United States alcohol and tobacco tax and trade bureau, the manufacturer, rectifier, or outstate seller of wine must submit an electronic copy of the label.(4) A shipment of bottled wine from a manufacturer or an outstate seller of wine shall be made only to a licensed wholesaler at the address of the licensed premises, except upon written order of the commission.Mich.
