About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wine bond actually covers

Connecticut regulates alcohol through the Department of Consumer Protection’s Liquor Control Division (the permit side) and taxes it through the Department of Revenue Services (the tax side). A wine manufacturer that produces and distributes wine files a bond securing the alcoholic beverage tax it owes the state.

The bond is a tax-payment guarantee for the benefit of the state. The amount is tied to your production volume and tax liability — Connecticut’s rules set a lower figure for a winery producing not more than 100,000 gallons on its permit premises and a higher figure above that. Small wineries commonly see amounts around $500–$2,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. This bond is tied to statutory renewal dates (June 30), so we set your term to line up. Confirm your required amount on your permit or DRS registration — pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
