2023 KEG VOLUME GROWTH

The difference is that trends don't stand the test of time while movements only grow more and more powerful over time. Free Flow has seen impressive growth with keg shipments up more than 25% this year. While overall wine consumption is down, wine consumption from our steel kegs are rising. Wineries are committed to sustainable packaging options to reduce their CO2 emissions and eliminate waste while maintaining the highest quality of wine. Operators are engaged in finding solutions to improve service efficiency, beverage quality, and their environmental impact.

Thank you to everyone who's supported our efforts to champion the most sustainable and profitable way to enjoy wine by-the-glass.

NATIONAL SALES MEETINGS

We're encouraging our key partners to help us make continued growth of wine on tap a priority. One great way to do this is by inviting our Business Development team to your 2024 National Sales Meetings. It’s amazing how impactful “sipping the kool-aid”, discussing key on tap trends, and answering a few questions can be for helping your sales teams feel confident talking about wine on tap.

Our top performing winery partner this year embraced their NSM as a wine on tap learning opportunity in early 2023. It’s not a coincidence their sales have since more than doubled to nearly 20,000 kegs, and they’re forecasting exponential growth on top of this success in 2024.

FSE CCOF CERTIFICATION

Joining our Sonoma facility, we are excited to share that Filling Station East (FSE) is now CCOF Certified Organic. FSE is conveniently located right outside the port in Bayonne, NJ, allowing importers (and local wineries) to ship organic bulk wine to the east coast to fill in Free Flow reusable steel kegs.

CA BOTTLE BILL

Starting January 1, 2024, wineries will be required to begin reporting to CalRecycle the wine bottles, cans and bag in box items they produce on a monthly basis. Two months later, they will be required to pay monthly fees based on their container production. Did you know that this does not apply to Free Flow steel kegs because they are a 100% reusable package?
