⏳ Keg Freshness

Before tapping: We recommend that wine be shipped to accounts within 12–18 months. This is to keep keg inventory at healthy levels.
-
After tapping: Wine will stay fresh for at least 6 months after a keg has been tapped.
🔁 Returning Empty Kegs
Keep the cycle going:
-
Pick up empties when delivering full kegs to accounts.
-
Store them at your warehouse.
-
Once you’ve collected 20+ empties, contact us:
We’ll coordinate the return based on your location.
