GA wine wholesaler bonds.
$275. Five minutes.

A Georgia wine wholesaler files a $5,000 performance and tax liability bond with the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division. At a flat 3%, 3% of $5,000 is $150 — but that's below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia licenses wine wholesalers through the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division under the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3). The license is conditioned on a $5,000 performance and tax liability bond running to the Department.

The bond guarantees you pay the wine excise tax the state imposes on the wholesale of alcoholic beverages, along with any penalties and interest, and that you comply with the Alcoholic Beverage Code and the Revenue Commissioner's rules. If you fail to remit, the Department can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who file and pay on time treat the $5,000 bond as a license formality. The Department of Revenue is the obligee on the standard bond form.

Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code — O.C.G.A. Title 3 (Dept. of Revenue)Georgia wine wholesalers are licensed by the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division under the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3, including the excise-tax provisions around § 3-6-50). The standard $5,000 performance and tax liability bond runs to the Department of Revenue and is conditioned on payment of wine excise taxes and compliance with the Code.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia wine wholesaler bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond would be $150, but that is below our $275 floor, so the price is $275, the same for every wholesaler.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you pay the wine excise tax (plus penalties and interest) and comply with the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code. If you fail to remit, the Department of Revenue can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Department of Revenue; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount tax bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the wholesaler license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
