I want to open a Wine shop, pls guide me where will i get liquor license & how much its costing?

Answer 1

If you don't know the name of your local liquor control board or Alcohol Beverages Division, call your city hall. They'll know, because you'll be having to submit the paperwork to them too, along with your proof of liquor liability insurance and dram shop insurance. You'll probably be on a first name basis with the city clerk, councilman, and your insurance agent by the time it gets processed.

The cost depends on which type of license you try to get. It's different if it's on/off premise sales, like if you'll be conducting tastings at the shop. Also depends on what percentage of sales is alcohol, what days you'll be open, a whole bunch of factors.

I had a class C I believe at my restaurant with no Sunday sales. For a restaurant under 14% of sales going towards alcohol, seating about 60, I paid $800 a year for the license, non-transferable and non-refundable. Tack on the costs of the insurances and it came to about $2400 a year to keep my liquor license.
