A Georgia farm winery, wine manufacturer, broker, or importer files a $5,000 tax bond with the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division, guaranteeing the wine excise taxes and fees due on its business. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the application collects no credit information.
















Alcohol tax bonds are simple to issue. Here's the whole thing:
Business details and an effective date. The bond renews on statutory dates (12/31), so we line the term up with the state calendar.
Fixed-amount tax bonds like this issue quickly — many right after purchase, at most 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email on the Department’s standard tax-bond form, ready to submit with your wine license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Georgia’s Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3) conditions a wine license on a tax bond filed with the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division. For farm wineries, wine manufacturers, brokers, and importers the standard bond is $5,000, on the Department’s standard tax-bond form.
The bond guarantees the licensee will promptly pay all sums due as taxes, license fees, penalties, and interest arising from the wine business, plus the state’s costs of collection. The Department of Revenue is the obligee; the state recovers against the bond if excise taxes go unpaid.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. These bonds run on statutory renewal dates (December 31), so the term you choose lines up with the state calendar.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond's application doesn't collect any credit information.
