N.Y. Alcoholic Beverage Control Law § 58-b: Retail sale of cider by wholesale licensees

§ 58-b. Retail sale of cider by wholesale licensees. 1.

Notwithstanding any other law upon payment to the liquor authority of an

additional annual fee of one hundred twenty-five dollars, the liquor

authority may in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it

may prescribe, issue to a licensed cider producer upon application

therefor a certificate authorizing such producer to sell cider at retail

in sealed containers to a householder for consumption in his home, but

no sale to such householder shall be in quantities aggregating more than

fifteen gallons. Revenues received by any such licensed cider producer

from the sale of cider at retail to householders under such a

certificate during the term thereof shall not exceed five per centum of

all the revenues derived by such licensee from the sale of apples and

cider during such term.

2. No retail licensee of cider authorized by this section shall keep

or permit to be kept upon the licensed premises, any cider in any

unsealed bottle or other unsealed container, except for the purpose of

cider tasting or sampling by any person pursuant to authorization to

conduct such a sampling or tasting pursuant to subdivision two of

section fifty-eight of this article, except to those persons to whom

sales are prohibited in section sixty-five of this chapter.
