Summary
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,
