KOMBUCHA

This bill changes federal tax law so that certain kombucha drinks are not taxed as wine or beer. It covers kombucha that is fermented only by a culture of bacteria and yeast, has no more than 1.25 percent alcohol by volume, is sold as kombucha, and is made from sugars and plant materials such as tea or coffee. Such kombucha would also be exempt from federal rules that apply to wine and beer producers. The changes would apply to calendar quarters beginning after the bill becomes law.
