Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Wine Manufacturer’s Monthly Report (Imported and Domestic) New Electronic Reporting The three paper forms representing the Wine Manufacturer’s Monthly Report have been combined into one electronic report each for Imported Wine and Domestic Wine. The data entered into the Detail tabs will be automatically transferred to and calculated on the Summary screens. The Computation of Tax tab will allow entry of any eligible credit amounts and calculate a final excise tax due. The Review & Confirm tab allows for a final review before the report is submitted via EDS. Key Points to Know • Electronic reports are also due by the 10th of the month. • It might be necessary to turn off the pop-up blocker. • In order to allow for closer matching against winery production records, electronic reporting for wine manufacturers has incurred several field changes in comparison with paper reporting. • Product is considered finished only when fermentation is completed and should only be reported on at that point. • Raw materials should not be included in these reports. • Wine is considered domestic only when produced with Florida grown fruit, regardless of the quantity of that fruit. Wine that does not contain any Florida grown fruit is considered an import. What’s Needed for Reporting • Information needed: – Batch number – Tank number – Brand name – Batch start and finish dates – Quantity of wine finished in bulk gallons and bottled – Bottling date for each batch – Gallons lost in bottling – Amount of wine purchased and how (bulk or bottle) – Where did the finished wine go and how was it distributed? – Beginning and ending inventories Logging Into EDS Log in with the user id and password provided through the EDS registration process and click on the Login button.

For the purpose of screen shots, the Imported Wine Manufacturer’s Report will be used; however, title aside, the imported and domestic reports are the same. Completing the General Information Tab The General Information tab will auto populate with information provided during the registration process. Red asterisks denote required fields. A Reporting Period month and year must be selected. A selection from the Amended? drop down box is also required. Only if the report gets amended, should “Yes” be selected from the dropdown box. Add the Report Submitted By name, which is the person verifying the submitted information. The Email Address is that of the person submitting the report. The Filer Email address is optional. Helpful Hints Save your report often. This helps guard against data loss and is considered a “best practice”.

To resume your report, log back in and open the report from the Saved Work link.
