(A) The provisions of the city code, §§ 111.01, 111.30 through 111.34 and 111.45 through 111.59, relating to the definition of terms, licensing, consumption, sales, conditions of bonds of licensees, hours of sale, and all other matters pertaining to the retail sale, distribution, and consumption of intoxicating liquor insofar as they are applicable to wine licenses authorizing the sale of wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume for consumption on the licensed premises only, in conjunction with the sale of food, are adopted and made a part of this section as if set out in full.
(B) No person except a wholesaler or manufacturer to the extent authorized under state license, and the municipal liquor dispensary, shall directly or indirectly deal in, sell, or keep for sale in the city any wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume without an on-sale wine license. An on-sale wine license authorizes the sale of wine not exceeding 14% alcohol by volume, for consumption on the licensed premises only, in conjunction with the sale of food. An on-sale wine license may be issued only to a restaurant having facilities for seating not fewer than 25 guests at one time.

A wine license authorizes the sale of wine on all days of the week under the hours of sale as established in state statutes.
(C) Every application for on-sale wine license shall comply with and follow the procedures for application of an on-sale liquor license as stated in §§ 111.45 through 111.59.
(D) The annual fee for a wine license shall be established by resolution of the City Council.
(E) Each license shall be issued for a period of one year except that if the application is made during the license year, a license may be issued for the remainder of the year for a pro rata fee, with any unexpired fraction of a month being counted as one month. Every license shall expire on the first day of July.
(F) No refund of any fee shall be made except as authorized by statute, ordinance, or code provision.
(G) The rules and procedures governing the wine licenses shall be the same as those governing on-sale liquor licenses, §§ 111.50 through 111.52.
(H) The rules and procedures governing the conditions of wine licenses shall be the same as those governing on-sale liquor licenses, § 111.53.
