Producer / Wholesaler Liquor Licence - New South Wales

Description

You will require this licence if you intend to carry on a business as a wine producer, brewer, distiller or a liquor wholesaler (for example, wine, cider, perry, mead, beer or spirits). For wine producers, brewers and distillers, this licence also allows tastings (with a charge if desired), retail sales, and direct sales to the public at liquor industry shows and farmers' markets or fairs.

Differences between licences include:

  • producers are enabled to sell their own product to any person or company, and someone else's product to other licensed premises.
