Overview
Get bonded as a Georgia wine wholesaler and demonstrate to the state's alcohol regulatory authority that your business stands behind its licensing obligations. Georgia requires wine wholesalers to carry this surety bond before they can legally distribute wine throughout the state. It guarantees that your business will comply with all applicable laws governing wine distribution, tax remittance, and licensing conditions. Without it, your wholesale license application goes nowhere.
Who Needs This Bond?
Wine wholesalers operating in Georgia need this bond as a condition of their state-issued wholesale license. Any business that purchases wine from producers or importers and resells it to Georgia retailers, restaurants, or other licensed accounts falls into this category. If you are launching a new wine distribution operation or renewing your existing wholesale license, the state's alcohol regulatory authority will require proof of this bond. It applies statewide — there is no local or county variation.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the state and its alcohol regulatory authority against financial harm caused by a wine wholesaler's failure to meet licensing requirements, remit required taxes, or comply with the rules governing wholesale distribution. It is a three-party agreement between your business as the principal, the surety that backs the bond, and the state agency as the obligee. If your business fails to fulfill its obligations, the obligee can make a claim against the bond to recover losses. Your business is ultimately responsible for repaying any paid claims.
When is it Required?
Applying for a Georgia wine wholesale license triggers the bond requirement — the state's alcohol regulatory authority will not issue or renew the license without a valid bond on file. This is not a one-time formality. The bond must remain active throughout the entire period you hold the wholesale license. If your bond lapses at any point, your license is at risk of suspension or revocation.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement and applies to wine wholesalers operating anywhere within the state. It is mandated by Georgia's alcohol regulatory authority as part of the wholesale licensing process. There are no city- or county-specific versions of this bond — a single statewide bond covers your Georgia wholesale operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does renewal work for the Georgia Wine Wholesaler Bond, and what happens if it lapses?
Your Georgia Wine Wholesaler Bond must be kept continuously active for as long as you hold your wholesale license. When renewal is due, you will need to renew the bond before it expires and provide updated proof to the state's alcohol regulatory authority. If the bond lapses — even briefly — the regulatory authority can treat your license as non-compliant, which can lead to suspension or revocation of your wholesale license and halt your ability to legally distribute wine in Georgia.
Can the required bond amount change based on the volume of wine I distribute or the taxes I remit?
The bond amount for a Georgia Wine Wholesaler Bond is set by the state's alcohol regulatory authority and is tied to your licensing classification, not automatically recalculated each month based on distribution volume. However, the regulatory authority has the power to adjust the required bond amount if your business activity or risk profile changes significantly. Always verify the current required amount with the regulatory authority before purchasing or renewing your bond.
How do I provide proof of bond to the state's alcohol regulatory authority after I purchase it?
Once your bond is issued through the My Bond App portal, you will receive official bond documentation. You submit this documentation — typically a bond certificate or a power of attorney — directly to Georgia's alcohol regulatory authority as part of your license application or renewal package. The regulatory authority may also accept electronic copies, but confirm their current submission requirements before filing to make sure your bond is properly recorded on your license file.
