Bedingfield Sponsors Bill to Help SC Wineries

According to a story in Tuesday's edition of The State, Eric Bedingfield (R-28) has sponsored a bill that has the potential to make South Carolina's vineyards more competitive.

The bill would allow state wineries to produce wines that contain up to 60 percent out-of-state juices and fruits. Previously, Palmetto State wineries were allowed no more than 49 percent out-of-state products.

Victoria Valley Vineyards in Pickens County would be among the companies to benefit.
