Here is the reply that I got from ATF:
Thank you for your e-mail to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives (ATF).

However, ATF is now part of the Department of Justice and we no longer deal 
with your issues.  We have sent your e-mail to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax 
and Trade Bureau, Treasury Department, to handle your inquiry.

Where can I find the statutes regarding the freezing of wine, to remove
water and concentrate the level of alcohol? I'm trying to pass along the
reasons that it is not legal to persons who say that it is legal, and would
like to be able to quote the proper sources.
