The United States has just authorized13 additional capacity standards for wine containers and 15 capacity standards for distilled spirits containers.
The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) is also amending its regulations to eliminate the distinction between capacity standards for distilled spirits in cans and those for distilled spirits in containers other than cans.
These regulatory amendments provide more flexibility to industry members and give consumers more purchasing options.
Specifically, wine industry members can now use the following new capacity standards: 180, 300, 330, 360, 473 (16 oz.), 550, 568 (19.2 oz.), 600, 620, 700 and 720 milliliter sizes, and 1.8 and 2.25 liter sizes. These are in addition to those already approved and listed in 27 CFR 4.72. Members of the distilled spirits industry can now use the following new capacity standards: 187, 250, 331, 350, 355, 475, 500, 570, 700, 710 and 945 milliliter sizes, and 1.5, 2, 3 and 3.75 liter sizes. All capacity standards for distilled spirits are now approved for both cans and non-can containers.
