O.C.G.A 3-2-7.1 requires the Department of Revenue to develop and implement a state-wide centralized application process for initial applications and renewals of retail licenses. The centralized licensing process provides a way for retail licensees to simultaneously apply for such licenses and renewals online. The license types included in the centralized licensing process are retail (beer/wine), retail package, consumption on premises (includes distilled spirits), and special events.
Red wine, in limited amounts, has long been thought of as healthy for the heart. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.
Links between red wine and fewer heart attacks aren't well understood. But antioxidants in red wine may increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, also called the "good" cholesterol, and protect against cholesterol buildup.
Experts say not to start drinking alcohol to help your heart. This is especially true if you have alcohol use disorder or if alcohol use disorder is in your family. Too much alcohol can harm the body in many ways.
But study results on resveratrol are mixed. Some research shows that resveratrol could be linked to a lower risk of swelling and irritation, called inflammation, and blood clotting. Both can lower the risk of heart disease.
The resveratrol in red wine comes from the skin of grapes used to make wine. Simply eating grapes or drinking grape juice might be a way to get resveratrol without drinking alcohol. Red and purple grape juices may have some of the same heart-healthy pluses of red wine.
Peanuts, blueberries and cranberries also have some resveratrol. It's not yet known whether eating grapes or other foods promotes heart health the way drinking red wine might. And it's not known how much resveratrol is needed to protect the heart. The amount of resveratrol in food and red wine can vary widely.
Researchers keep studying whether red wine and other alcoholic drinks can help the heart. Those who drink regular, limited amounts of alcohol, including red wine, seem to have a lower risk of heart disease. Drinking regular, limited amounts is called drinking in moderation.
But there might be other reasons for the lower risk of heart disease in people who drink red wine in moderation. For instance, they might eat a healthier diet and be more active than those who don't drink red wine. And they might have higher incomes and better access to health care as well.
The American Heart Association and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute advise against starting to drink alcohol just to prevent heart disease. Some people who drink alcohol have trouble stopping, called addiction. And drinking alcohol can cause other health problems or make them worse.

For years, studies have shown a relationship between drinking a moderate amount of red wine and good heart health, but experts say it's important to understand what that means before you prescribe yourself a glass or two a day.

The following information addresses the regulatory requirements for wine and juice treating materials and processes. These regulations and those pertaining to the production of wine can be found in part 24 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR part 24).
TTB has been delegated authority under 26 U.S.C. Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) to promulgate regulations pertaining to wine. The statutory provisions under which TTB promulgates such regulations include Section 5382 of the IRC (26 U.S.C. 5382). Section 5382 of the IRC provides that proper cellar treatment of natural wine constitutes those practices and procedures that produce a finished product acceptable in good commercial practice as prescribed by regulation. Section 5382 also authorizes the promulgation of regulations setting forth limitations on the preparation and use of methods and materials for clarifying, stabilizing, preserving, fermenting, and correcting wine and juice.
As provided in 24.246, wine and juice treating materials are used in the process of filtering, clarifying, or purifying wine and may remove cloudiness, precipitation, and undesirable odors and flavors.
The materials listed in the table at the end of 24.246 are approved as being consistent with good commercial practice in the production, cellar treatment, or finishing of wine, and where applicable in the treatment of juice, within the general limitations provided in 24.246 and the limitations listed in the table.
As provided in 24.248, any process which changes the character of the wine to the extent inconsistent with good commercial practice is not permitted on bonded wine premises.
The processes listed in the table at the end of 24.248 are approved as being consistent with good commercial practice for use by proprietors in the production, cellar treatment, or finishing of wine and juice within the limitations specified in that section.
In accordance with the requirements in 24.249, and with prior approval from TTB, proprietors may conduct experimentations with a treating material or process in a manner that will not jeopardize the revenue, conflict with wine operations, or be contrary to law.
Prior to conducting an experiment, the proprietor must file an application with the Director, Regulations and Rulings Division (RRD).
The application must set forth, in detail, the experimentation to be conducted and indicate the facilities and equipment to be used. You may submit your application electronically using this Contact RRD Form.
Consistent with 24.246 and 24.248, TTB may approve use of wine treating materials and processes that are determined to be acceptable in good commercial practice. In general, good commercial practice includes addressing the reasonable technological or practical need to enhance the keeping, stability, or other qualities of the wine, and achieving the winemaker's desired effect without creating an erroneous impression about the character and composition of the wine. Generally, TTB considers approval of continual use only after several experiments have been conducted with the same method or process.
Applications for such approval must be submitted in accordance with the requirements set forth in 24.250. In general, 24.250 requires that the application shows that the proposed material or process is a cellar treatment consistent with good commercial practice; 24.250 further requires that the application provide:
Information of a confidential or proprietary nature to the manufacturer or supplier of the treating material or process may be forwarded by the manufacturer or supplier to TTB.
You can view the application requirements and standards for approval of new treating materials or processes in 24.250.You can view the application requirements and standards for approval of new treating materials or processes in 24.250.

The following lists wine and juice treating materials and processes that TTB has approved as acceptable in good commercial practice under our authority in 24.250, pending the outcome of rulemaking. As a result of this administrative approval, industry members do not need to apply to TTB to use these treatments, provided any listed limitations are met.
* As explained in T.D. TTB 185, published and effective August 24, 2022, TTB intends to engage in additional rulemaking regarding fermentation aids (yeast nutrients). In the interim, TTB will continue to allow, under an administrative approval pending rulemaking, the use of biotin, calcium pantothenate, folic acid, inositol, magnesium sulfate, niacin, and pyridoxine hydrochloride at levels consistent with good commercial practice, only for the purpose of providing nutrients to the yeast, and not to fortify the wine, where the level of any remaining nutrient in the wine would be de minimis.
