Wisconsin wineries would be allowed to serve hard liquor and stay open until midnight under bills introduced in the state Legislature. State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, has
introduced the two bills that would loosen rules regulating wineries. Harsdorf said the bills will help wineries in her district expand operations beyond winemaking. “We’ve got a number of
wineries that are investing, literally, millions of dollars into creating facilities that are great places to host events and weddings and this will help further the growth of that
industry,” she said. STAY CONNECTED TO WISCONSIN NEWS — YOUR WAY Get trustworthy reporting and unique local stories from WPR delivered directly to your inbox. Harsdorf said local governments
