Schumer launched a multifaceted effort to boost the wine industry in the Rochester Finger-Lakes Region and across Upstate New York. With summer in full swing, it’s no secret that canned wine is the newest and hottest trend on the wine market. However, the Finger Lakes vineyards are not able to maximize the trend’s potential. Schumer explained that current Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations prevent vineyards like Fox Run and Three Brothers Winery and Estates from selling wine in normal, regular sized cans, similar to beer. To address the issue and unlock the potential revenue for the Finger Lakes Winery Industry, Schumer urged TTB to allow flexibility in Standards of Fill regulations that are preventing Rochester-Finger Lakes wine producers from selling wine in traditional can sizes.</span></p>"}}
