On October 24, DISCUS led the fight to oppose a Senate proposal to repeal Section 5010 of the tax code, the wine and flavors tax credit, stating, “Tax increases on distilled spirits in 1985 and 1991 exacted a huge price on our industry and the government in the form of lost jobs and decreased federal revenues. Repeal of Section 5010 could be devastating. The entire industry must say to Congress, in the strongest possible terms, that enough is enough.”
