The Wine Industry

The Sacramento District formed the Wine Industry Study (WIS) as part of the implementation of the Market Segment Specialization Program (MSSP). The wine industry was selected because of its relative uniqueness to, and overall economic impact on that district.

The wine industry, for purposes of the study, was defined as the wine making operations in Northern California. While the study focused on wineries, some vineyard operations were included. The information contained in this package represents information developed and issues raised during examinations within this industry.

The goals of the study were:

  1. To determine the nature and extent of noncompliance within the industry
  2. To develop an audit techniques guide for the industry
  3. To promote voluntary compliance within the industry through consistent treatment of issues and taxpayer education.
