Currently, per TTB restrictions, wine can only be sold in less popular can formats such as the 375 ml (12.7 oz) can and the 187 ml can, meanwhile, the popular 355 ml (12 oz) can is prohibited and the popular 250 ml (8.4 oz) can is only allowed to be sold in groups of 3 or 4, and not individually. Additionally, Schumer called on TTB to reduce costly wine-labeling restrictions that burden local producers with unintended red tape. Schumer explained that TTB removing these bureaucratic hurdles would unshackle producers across the state, leading to even further growth. Schumer also called for the passage of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act (CBMTRA) of 2019, which would permanently expand the wine producer tax credit set to expire the end of this year, and remove regulatory barriers to help New York winemakers grow and compete. </p>"}}
