## Summary

Starting January 10, 2025, new rules let wine and spirits makers use 13 new container sizes for wine and 15 for spirits, making it easier to sell and ship their products. The rules also simplify things by treating canned and non-canned spirits the same. This means more choices for buyers and smoother business for producers, with no extra costs expected.

## Abstract

This final rule amends the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations that govern wine and distilled spirits containers to add 13 standards of fill for wine and 15 for distilled spirits. TTB is also amending its regulations to eliminate the distinction between standards of fill for distilled spirits in cans and those for distilled spirits in containers other than cans. TTB had also proposed to generally eliminate the standards of fill for wine and distilled spirits, as an alternative to approving specific new standards of fill. Upon careful consideration of comments received, however, TTB is not adopting that proposal at this time. The amendments described in this final rule respond to industry member requests for additional flexibility to use a wider range of container sizes and are expected to facilitate the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce while also providing consumers broader purchasing options.

## Effects PRIA read

- New authorized wine container sizes: benefit, low. Starting January 10, 2025, TTB authorizes 13 new standards of fill for wine.

- New distilled spirits sizes and harmonization: benefit, low. Starting January 10, 2025, TTB authorizes 15 new standards of fill for distilled spirits and removes the separate size rules for cans versus other containers. The newly authorized distilled spirits sizes are: 187 mL, 250 mL, 331 mL, 350 mL, 355 mL, 475 mL, 500 mL, 570 mL, 700 mL, 710 mL, 945 mL, an…
- No new compliance burdens for businesses: benefit, low. TTB certified this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities and does not add new reporting or recordkeeping requirements. The rule relieves a restriction by allowing new container sizes but does not impose additional administrative obligations…
- Standards retained, not eliminated: mixed, low. TTB decided not to eliminate standards of fill entirely and instead added specific new sizes while keeping the standards in place. The agency concluded that adding specific sizes balances increased flexibility with reducing the risk of consumer confusion, effective January 10, 2025.
