Business Licensing Law (Amendment – Sale of Wine in a Large Store) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק רישוי עסקים (תיקון - מכירת יין בחנות גדולה)
TL;DRA proposal to add an exception allowing the sale of wine in large stores even after 23:00, contrary to the ban on selling alcoholic beverages at these hours.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Business Licensing Law of 1968 by adding a section defining "sale of wine in a large store" as an exception to the ban on selling alcoholic beverages after 23:00. The exception applies only in large food chains. The rationale for the proposal is that many consumers buy wine for use on Shabbat, on a holiday or for cooking - not for immediate drinking - and run into difficulties when their shopping ends after that hour. This proposal is identical to previous proposals submitted to the Knesset.
