When Governor Phil Murphy issued an executive order on March 16 limiting business operations in an effort to stop the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, it didn’t only affect restaurants. New Jersey wineries are struggling to survive the sudden changes, too.

Based on Murphy’s executive order, wineries cannot conduct wine tastings or hold events, and no wine can be consumed on premise. They can, however, remain open—but only for the sale of wine in original containers.
