KOMBUCHA

This bill would change federal tax law so that kombucha with low alcohol content is not taxed as wine or as beer. It defines low alcohol by volume kombucha as a drink fermented only by a culture of bacteria and yeast, containing no more than 1.25 percent alcohol by volume, sold as kombucha, and made from sugars and plant materials such as tea or coffee. Such kombucha would also be exempt from the federal rules for wine and beer production in the tax code. The changes would apply to calendar quarters beginning after the bill becomes law.
