	Amend SB 571 by adding the following appropriately numbered 
section to the bill and renumbering the subsequent sections as 
appropriate:
	SECTION ___.  Section 16.011, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 16.011.  PREMISES IN DRY AREA.  (a) A winery permit 
may be issued for premises in an area in which the sale of wine has 
not been authorized by a local option election.  A holder of a 
permit under this section may engage in any activity authorized 
under Section 16.01 except that the permit holder may sell or 
dispense wine under that section only if the wine is:
		(1)  manufactured in this state; and                                          
		(2)  at least 50 [75] percent by volume fermented juice 
of grapes or other fruit grown in this state.
	(b)  The commissioner of agriculture may reduce the 
percentage by volume of fermented juice of grapes or other fruit 
grown in this state that wine must contain under this section if the 
commissioner determines, after notice and a hearing, that the 
availability and condition of those crops grown in this state 
justify the reduction.
