About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

O.C.G.A. Title 3 (Alcoholic Beverage Code)Georgia farm wineries, wine manufacturers, brokers, and importers post a tax bond with the Department of Revenue under the Alcoholic Beverage Code (see O.C.G.A. §§ 3-6-21 and 3-6-21.1 for farm wineries). The standard tax-bond amount is $5,000, on the Department’s standard tax-bond form, conditioned on prompt payment of all wine excise taxes, fees, penalties, and interest. Confirm the amount on your Department of Revenue application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia winery tax bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. Same for every wine licensee.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Department of Revenue for unpaid wine taxes — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why does Georgia require it?Under the Alcoholic Beverage Code, the Department of Revenue takes a tax bond so the wine excise taxes a licensee owes are guaranteed. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section on this bond. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that never touches your score.
When does it renew?These bonds renew on statutory dates — December 31. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out with autopay available so your wine license never lapses over a missed bond.
