据美国联邦公报消息,2019年7月1日,美国联邦酒精烟草税务贸易局(TTB) 发布2019-13768号文件,提议取消除最低标准以外的所有葡萄酒容器灌装标准。
TTB法规中使用的术语“灌装标准”是指容器中的液体量,TTB现行法规规定了在美国销售的葡萄酒和蒸馏酒容器的特定灌装标准,如750、500、375、100和50毫升。这些提议旨在消除不必要的监管要求,为消费者提供更广泛的购买选择。

In this document, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) addresses numerous petitions requesting that TTB amend the regulations that govern wine containers to provide for additional authorized standards of fill. TTB is proposing to eliminate all but a minimum standard of fill for wine containers and thus eliminate unnecessary regulatory requirements and provide consumers broader purchasing options. TTB welcomes comments on this proposed deregulation, and it also seeks comments on the relative merits of alternatives, such as adding new authorized standards of fill and developing an expedited process for adding additional standards in the future. All of these approaches would eliminate restrictions that inhibit competition and the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce.
