Modifies provisions relating to the distribution of certain wine excise tax revenues
HB 1519 modifies Missouri's wine excise tax rate from $0.30 to $0.21 per gallon and redirects the revenue to a new "Missouri Wine and Grape Fund." This fund, created by the bill, will be used exclusively for developing the state's wine industry - funding marketing, grape-growing programs, viticulture experts, and wine-related business development. The tax applies to wine sellers in Missouri, with funds deposited starting July 1, 2026, and managed by the Department of Agriculture. The bill does not change penalties for tax violations or other liquor tax provisions.
