DE HB167

Adds "cooking wine" to the Delaware Code definition as wine with no more than 20% alcohol by volume and at least 1.5% salt, intended for cooking and not beverage consumption.

Exempts cooking wine from alcohol regulation requirements under Title 4, aligning Delaware law with federal standards and regulations in other states.

Replaces references to "Commissioner" with "Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement (DATE)" throughout the regulatory process for non-beverage alcohol products.

Establishes a hearing process allowing manufacturers or sellers to request a hearing within 20 days of receiving notice that a product is deemed unsuitable as an exempt non-beverage product.

Clarifies enforcement procedures including service of notice by hand delivery or certified mail and penalties for selling prohibited products after notice or adverse determination.
