Regulations and Guidance

    TTB Authorizes Additional Standards of Fill for Wine and Distilled Spirits 

    This final rule amends the TTB regulations to add 13 standards of fill for wine and 15 for distilled spirits, and it also amends the regulations to eliminate the distinction between standards of fill for distilled spirits in cans and those for distilled spirits in containers other than cans. These amendments 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. This final rule is effective January 10, 2025.
