Question

Does a church need a liquor license to serve wine?

Answer 1

Nope, If you consume the wine at the Church, All Good....

Answer 2

I can only go on the assumption that you're referring to Communion. In that case, no. The amount of wine that anyone gets is only a tiny sip, so even children can consume the wine.

For wedding receptions, they wouldn't need a license, since it's used for the toast. As long as that's all the wine there is.

If they were selling it by the glass, then they would.

Answer 3

No, if they did they would loose it for serving minors.

Answer 4

No, as long as it's not selling it.

Answer 5

Church doesn't need a license for hardly anything, that's the sad part.

"No, because it was water to begin with"  <-- And that was great, Michael. Two answers you've posted that I love.

Answer 6

No, because it was water to begin with.

Answer 7

Yes they do..........any establishment that serves alcohol to the public has to have a liquor license, unless they have a bar in the basement that already has a liqour license

Answer 8

religious institutions are exempted from needing a liquor license.

some states even have minor laws that allow under aged kids to drink as long as its in their homes. I know wikipedia has the map of the states that allow this, only one state allows underage minors to drink in pubs, but its only beer i think its Alaska, but could be wrong on that one.
