A Decade of Advancing
the Oklahoma Wine Industry
The Oklahoma Grape Industry Council (OGIC) champions the voices of grape growers and wineries, driving legislative change to foster innovation, expand markets, and boost economic vitality. Over the past 10 years, OGIC's advocacy has unlocked transformative opportunities, from streamlined regulations to new sales channels. Here's how we've reshaped Oklahoma's wine industry:
Constitutional Reform
Shifted alcohol regulation from the Oklahoma Constitution to state statutes, granting lawmakers greater flexibility to support industry growth.
On-Site Innovation
Authorized wine-by-the-glass service on- and off-premises, wine slushie production and sales, and curbside pickup at wineries.
Cross-Beverage Collaboration
Allowed wineries to purchase, store, and sell beer on licensed premises—and breweries to sell Oklahoma-made wine—fostering partnerships.
Small Producer Support
Created the Small Farm Winery License for operations producing 15,000 gallons or less; reduced self-distribution fees from $750 to $350; and permitted self-distribution of in-state wine.
Event & Tasting Expansion
Opened doors for festivals, trade shows, registered farmers markets, pop-up events, and satellite tasting rooms; plus bottle and by-the-glass sales at complementary beverage permit holders' events.
Direct-to-Consumer & Shipping Legalized in-state direct-to-consumer (DTC) wine shipping for broader reach.
Expanded Retail Access
Enabled wine sales in grocery and convenience stores, alongside in-store tastings to engage consumers directly.
