About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia licenses wine wholesalers through the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division under the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3). The license is conditioned on a $5,000 performance and tax liability bond running to the Department.

The bond guarantees you pay the wine excise tax the state imposes on the wholesale of alcoholic beverages, along with any penalties and interest, and that you comply with the Alcoholic Beverage Code and the Revenue Commissioner's rules. If you fail to remit, the Department can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who file and pay on time treat the $5,000 bond as a license formality. The Department of Revenue is the obligee on the standard bond form.

What does the bond guarantee?That you pay the wine excise tax (plus penalties and interest) and comply with the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code. If you fail to remit, the Department of Revenue can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
