the limitations in Sec.  24.75(b).
    (e) Limitation. This exemption should not in any manner be construed 
as authorizing the production of wine in violation of applicable State

not otherwise apply to partnerships, corporations, or associations.
    (f) Removal. Wine produced under this section may be removed from

contests, tastings or judgings, but may not under any circumstances be 
sold or offered for sale. The proprietor of a bonded wine premises shall
