INFORMATION ON OCCURRENCE OF METHANOL IN SPIRITS

02/27/2013
 
The extraordinary measure of Ministry of Health from 27th September 2012 does not apply to grower´s distillation of alcohol and its products.
The extraordinary measure applies to offering of sale, sale and other forms of offering to consumption. According to Section 4 (9) Act No. 61/1997 Coll., on Spirit, as amended, “fruit distillate produced by grower´s distillation is not allowed to be a subject of sale”.
The grower´s distillation is a service which is provided by a distillery operator to a grower (see Section 2 letter n) of the Act on Spirit). A grower brings fruit which is distillated by grower´s distillery and then the distillate is taken away and is not allowed to be sold by the grower. Nothing is added to the distillate. The grower pays for the service (distillation), not for the product which has arisen by that service. It is not sale of distillate (spirit) but the sale of the service called distillation. Pursuant to Section 2 letter f), also the grower has to pay excise tax to the distillery operator in the case there mentioned.
Pursuant to requirements mentioned in Section 2 letter l) point 7 Act on Spirit, a grower´s distillery could be (under certain conditions) also a distiller. The grower´s distillation is a spirit production (see the definition) which is not banned.

According to Section 2 letter n) of Act on Spirit, current extraordinary measure is not applied to grower´s distillation.
