The ACA is excited to share that the TTB announced today the addition of 13 new standards of fill for wine (including cider and mead), among them 473 ml (16 oz) and 569 ml (19.2 oz)! The rule is set to be published in the Federal Register on January 10 and will be effective at that time. The American Cider Association is claiming the new standards as a major victory for the cider category and the Association, as pushing for more parity with beer and wine have been priorities in the Association’s strategic efforts to lift the cider category.
