If you want to keep wine bottles from crowding the ever growing landfills in America, then making nickel deposits on wine a reality would take care of the problem. Why should soda and bottled water drinkers get all the perks of those five and ten cent bottle returns?
The statistics show Americans buy a lot of wine. The numbers don’t lie, showing that over four billion bottles of wine were purchased in the United States alone in 2016.

With that much wine being sold each year, the incentive to recycle all those empty wine bottles would be too great to ignore. At five cents a bottle, wine lovers across the states could fund their next robust or fruity wine selection.
The environmenntally conscious trend has already caught on in states like Iowa, Maine, and Vermont. And other states are following suit, like New York with plans for a nickel deposit program as early as 2020!
Imagine the return you could get after a weekend celebration. You could stockpile them until the end of summer and put that money away to spring for a bottle you can enjoy in the winter, something special like a Brunello di Montalcino or a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
It’s a win-win for everyone!
