Relating to taxes imposed on vinous liquor.

SB 2158 amends Texas tax law for vinous liquor (wine) by changing the alcohol content threshold for tax rates. It lowers the cutoff from 16% to 14% alcohol by volume (ABV), imposing a 20.4-cent tax per gallon on wine below 14% ABV and a 40.8-cent tax per gallon on wine at or above 14% ABV. This directly affects wine producers, importers, and retailers who sell vinous liquor in Texas. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, with prior tax liabilities unaffected.
