Summary

The bill establishes specific metric bottle sizes for wine and distilled spirits that can be sold or shipped in Louisiana and dictates how many of each size may be packed per case. It applies to manufacturers, wholesalers, importers and retailers, with limited exceptions for vintage wines, sake and cider, and it prohibits any powdered alcohol. State standards are tied to federal ATF regulations, and short‑term waivers of container limits are permitted when justified.
