Reminder: Bottle Bill Information on Wine Institute Website

Wine Institute has published a comprehensive web page on the updated California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (better known as the Bottle Bill). Legislative changes to the bill mean, effective January 1, 2024, wine and spirits containers will be added into California’s beverage container recycling program. Beginning July 1, 2025, wine and spirits products sold for consumption in California will be required to be labeled with California Redemption Value (CRV) indicia. The web page has an implementation guide for wineries, a list of frequently asked questions as well as additional resources. Members with further questions are welcome to contact Wine Institute's Sacramento office.

ALSO - this is an outstanding VIDEO which answers many questions and explains what YOU need to do to comply.

This is a very casual tasting event - no wristbands, glasses or RSVP lists - everyone will have their ticket on their phone and they will all be "walk-in" tasters.

Now we are at 1000 tickets sold / 1000 to go!
