Tax Benefits
Federal tax law allows anyone actively engaged in a business for profit to deduct reasonable expenses related to that business. This means that:

  • Individuals may use losses generated during the early years of a new business to offset income from other sources such as wages or investment income.
  • There are a number of expenses that are allowable deductions if you are engaged in the winery business. This is true even if there may be a personal benefit, as long as the primary purpose is the production, promotion, and sale of your wine.
