Smoke Exposure Research Act of 2025

This bill directs the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to conduct research relating to smoke exposure and wine grapes.

Specifically, ARS must

conduct research to identify the compounds responsible for smoke exposure,
conduct research to establish standard methodologies for sampling and testing smoke-exposed wine grapes and smoke-affected wines,
establish a reliable database of background levels of smoke exposure compounds that occur naturally in wine grapes,
develop risk assessment tools or mitigation methods to reduce or eliminate smoke exposure, and
study compounds that can act as a barrier between wine grapes and smoke compounds.
