1. Subject to rules of the division, manufacturers of native wines from grapes, cherries, other fruits or other fruit juices, vegetables, vegetable juices, dandelions, clover, honey, or any combination of these ingredients, holding a class "A" wine permit as required by this chapter, may sell, keep, or offer for sale and deliver the wine. Sales may be made at retail for off-premises consumption when sold on the premises of the manufacturer, or in a retail establishment operated by the manufacturer which is no closer than five miles from an existing native winery. Sales may also be made to class "A" or retail wine permittees or liquor control licensees as authorized by the class "A" wine permit.
2. A manufacturer of native wines shall not sell the wines other than as permitted in this chapter and shall not allow wine sold to be consumed upon the premises of the manufacturer. However, prior to sale native wines may be sampled on the premises where made, when no charge is made for the sampling. A person may manufacture native wine for consumption on the manufacturer's premises, when the wine or any part of it is not manufactured for sale.
3. A manufacturer of native wines may ship wine in closed containers to individual purchasers inside and outside this state. The manufacturer shall label the package containing the wine with the words "deliver to adults only".
4. Notwithstanding section 123.179, subsection 1, a class "A" wine permit for a native wine manufacturer shall be issued and renewed annually upon payment of a fee of twenty-five dollars which shall be in lieu of any other license fee required by this chapter. The class "A" permit shall only allow the native wine manufacturer to sell, keep, or offer for sale and deliver the manufacturer's native wines as provided under this section.
5. For the purposes of this section, "manufacturer" includes only those persons who process in Iowa the fruit, vegetables, dandelions, clover, honey, or any combination of these ingredients, by fermentation into wines.
