SONOMA,
Calif., July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Free
Flow Wines has announced 7 new winners at the 11th annual KEGGY
Awards, recognizing the exceptional impacts these partners have
made in reducing waste from the landfill and CO2 emissions. The
KEGGY Awards were created in 2014 to recognize winery partners for
their commitment to sustainability by choosing reusable
stainless-steel kegs - a truly zero-waste package. Each Free Flow
keg holds the equivalent of 26 bottles of wine and will eliminate
approximately 1,560 bottles from the landfill over its
lifetime.
Sustainability is one of Free Flow's core
values...it is even more meaningful to celebrate the growth and
success of our partners and to continue to build upon what we have
achieved together.
As of today, Free Flow Wines and their partners have saved more
than 38 million bottles, or 58 million pounds of waste, from the
landfills and the equivalent of over 69 million pounds of CO2 from
the atmosphere. Each reusable steel keg will save 2,862 lbs. of CO2
emissions over its lifetime, compared to pouring the same wine out
of glass bottles. This is the equivalent emissions of driving a
gas-powered vehicle coast to coast.
"Sustainability is one of Free Flow's core values and we are
proud to partner with hundreds of wineries and distributors to
offer the only zero-waste package for the wine industry. In a time
where sales are down for many, it is even more meaningful to
celebrate the growth and success of our partners and to continue to
build upon what we have achieved together.", said Rich Bouwer, CEO.
This year's People's Choice winner, Xe54: a Wine & Cocktail
Lounge, located in Neenah, WI, is
the ultimate lounge destination serving craft cocktails, beer, and
wine in an unpretentious and welcoming atmosphere. Whether looking
to unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion, they
have the perfect setting to elevate the mood.
"We are honored to accept the People's Choice KEGGY Award. This
recognition is a testament to our shared commitment to providing
exceptional wine experiences while prioritizing sustainability. We
are proud to partner with Free Flow Wines and contribute to
reducing our environmental footprint, one sip at a time. We look
forward to many more years of successful collaboration" stated
Laura Spranger & Pamela Barnes, Proprietors of Xe54: a Wine &
Cocktail Lounge.
