Student-made wines debut at UC Davis after decades of legal barriers
"In 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that removed language barring UC Davis from selling wine, allowing for greater community access to student-made wines."
"The university's viticulture and enology program finally allowed students to sell wine after more than 12 years of waiting for legislation and navigating legal hurdles."
UC Davis viticulture and enology students can now sell wines they produce, a first for the university due to a new state law signed in 2020. Previously prohibited from selling wine because it is a public institution, the students’ creations can now be shared with the community through an affiliated nonprofit named Hilgard631. This change marks a significant shift after over a decade of legal maneuvering and represents a hands-on learning opportunity for students who craft, bottle, and label their own wine.
