One of the key issues is "tax reform", and whether that might be the vehicle for the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act that we are working on with our partners in the beer and spirits sectors. Happily, we now have 253 House Members and 47 Senators as co-sponsors, showing broad bipartisan support which means good prospects.

 

But key questions remain about the nature of any changes--do they represent true reform or just a tax cut? And will we need to seek another route to get this done? Time will tell, but we'll keep on pushing.

 

As a reminder, wineries of all sizes will save a lot of money if this legislation succeeds, due to credits on the federal excise tax that significantly lower the burden. To calculate what your savings would be, click here.

 

 

These things don't happen by chance. It's because we make them happen. Help us help you.
