Help for a feeble Mind

I have been searching in vain for a chart or statistics somewhere here in the forum which contained numbers of total $ sales nationwide of various spirits which stated amount of taxes paid by major distilleries compared to micro distilleries. Something like .01 percent by micros. It also had something to do with bill 777 for a reduction in taxes on micro distillers. I am lost. Coop

I had a bit of spare time today, but this is all I could find...

Don't know that its what you were looking for though.

You could take an educated guess of average proof gallons produced by micros and back a number out of the DISCUS article listed above.

Coop,

I believe the proposal from Melkon has some of the numbers you're looking for: http://www.distilling.com/PDF/PROPsmall.pdf

A table on the third page assumes an annual production of 500,000 cases for small US producers (ADI estimate), which would be 0.26% of overall production from July 2006 - July 2007

That's it. This is the one I was looking for, thanks to you all. Coop

The DISCUS reports are about the only good ones released publicly. There are several companies that provide more detailed industry statistics but they charge dearly for them. You probably can get a report providing exactly the data you seek, but it won't be free.
