How to secure alcoholic beverages


Read time: 6 minutes

If your business was impacted by severe following, you should complete the following steps:

  • Do not resell products that were submerged in water when sealed with screwcaps, crimp tops, and pop tops as those items can be too difficult to fully sanitize.
  • If you must dispose of alcohol, the alcohol must be destroyed. Dump out each bottle or can, throw away in a locked dumpster, or contact your wholesaler for assistance in destroying the alcohol.
  • You may store untainted alcohol products in your lockable storage, if safe, or you may ask the Liquor Control Division for permission to store off-site. The off-site storage must be secured and locked. Email DCP.LiquorControl@ct.gov for more information and approval.
  • You may ask your wholesaler to accept the return of any untainted alcohol products.
  • If you must close your permit premises for any length of time, contact the Liquor Control Division to ensure your permit remains in the proper status.
