35-12-4. Wine produced from state-grown fruits and honey--Approval required for use of imported products by winery. The holder of a farm winery license may manufacture wine in the state from South Dakota produced or grown grapes, grape juice, other fruit bases, or honey. If South Dakota produced or grown grapes, grape juice, other fruits, or honey are not available in quantities sufficient to constitute a majority of the table or sparkling wine, or wine as defined in subdivision 35-12-1(3), produced by a farm winery, the holder of the farm winery license may file an affidavit with the secretary of the Department of Revenue and Regulation stating this fact and requesting that the secretary approve the use of imported products by the winery. If the secretary approves, the farm winery may use imported products and shall continue to be governed by the provisions of this chapter. The secretary's approval is effective for a period of one year, after which the farm winery shall use South Dakota grown or produced grapes, grape juice, other fruits, or honey unless the farm winery license holder files a new affidavit and request with the secretary and the secretary approves the request.
