Proposition 125 (also known as the Wine Sales in Grocery and Convenience Stores Initiative) was a citizen-initiated, statewide ballot measure that was approved in Colorado on November 8, 2022. [1] The measure allowed for grocery and convenience stores that sell beer to also sell wine. [2]
Proposition 125 entailed:
Additionally, a new license could not be issued to a location within 500 feet of an existing retail liquor store and a new retail liquor store license could not be issued to a location within 500 feet of an existing licensed fermented malt beverage and wine retailer. [3]
Under Colorado law at the time, the vast majority of grocery stores were only licensed to sell alcohol in the form of beer and other fermented malt beverages ( hard seltzer, hard lemonade, etc), while retail liquor stores were licensed to sell every type of alcohol. [4]
Proposition 125 was supported by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce, The Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain State Conference of the NAACP, and the Wine in Grocery Stores Initiative. [5] [6] [7]
Proposition 125 was opposed by the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association and the Keeping Colorado Local Campaign. [8]
