Support the Bubble Bill to Support American Innovation

Carbonation taxes make carbonating agricultural beverages such as fruit wine, fruit cider, and fruit mead at sparkling levels cost prohibitive. Most craft beverage entrepreneurs can’t afford to carbonate these products at the level the market wants. The result is that an important American agricultural sector is falling flat.

Sign on to support the Bubble Bill and allow cider, mead and wine producers to compete more fairly in the evolving beverage market. The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act achieved this for grape-only wines, but fruit-based cider, wine, and mead were overlooked. This created an excise tax disparity of $2-$3 a gallon depending on the product.

Allowing more carbonation will foster more economic opportunities for craft beverage makers, allow for more small producer collaborations, create increased opportunities for farms to stay viable with value-added products, and allow for diversification that could help farms and businesses mitigate disasters such as fires, droughts, floods, hurricanes or crop disease.

Please ask your Senators and Representatives to sign onto the Bubble Bill today to support American craft beverage producers and manufacturers.

I am writing to ask you to support  the Bubble Tax Modernization Act (HR 7029/S 5442). Signing on to support this bill will allow cider, mead, and wine producers to compete more fairly in the evolving beverage market where flavor and carbonation are prioritized by today's consumer. The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act achieved this for low-abv grape-only wines, but fruit-based low-abv cider, wine, and mead were overlooked. This created an excise tax disparity of $2-$3 a gallon depending on the product!

Allowing more carbonation will foster more economic opportunities for craft beverage makers, allow for more small producer collaborations, create increased opportunities for farms to stay viable with value-added products, and allow for diversification that could help farms and businesses mitigate disasters such as fires, droughts, floods, or crop disease.

Please sign onto the Bubble Tax Modernization Act today to support American farmers, craft beverage producers and manufacturers.
