Provides that a person who has a third-class wine-maker's license and annually produces less than 250,000 gallons of wine may make application to the Illinois Liquor Control Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more than 25,000 gallons of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per year and to sell cider, mead, or both cider and mead to brewers, class 1 brewers, class 2 brewers, and class 3 brewers that sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to non-licensees at their breweries.

Provides that a wine-maker's premises license shall allow the licensee to sell and offer for sale at up to 3 (instead of 2) additional locations for use and consumption and not for resale.
