Key Points

The bill requires the Department of Agriculture to conduct a nationwide survey of grape vineyards within one year. This survey will track how many acres are used for grapes, what types of grapes are grown, and where they are located down to the county level.
After the first year, the government must publish annual updates for the five states that produce the most grapes. This ensures that farmers and businesses have current information on the biggest markets in the country.
The goal is to provide better data to help grape growers and winemakers make informed decisions about their crops. Currently, detailed information on specific grape varieties and planting years can be hard for farmers to find.
Congress would set aside $2.5 million for the first big survey and $1.5 million each year after that to keep the data updated through 2030.
