Reminder! If you are a beverage manufacturer and/or distributor that ships wine into California, your 2024 Annual Report is due by February 1 (If the due date falls on a holiday or weekend, it will be moved to the next business day). Beverage Manufacturer sales from December 2024 are also due February 10, according to the Beverage Manufacturer and Distributor 2024 Reporting & Payment Calendar.
Background: In 2023, California added wine and spirits bottles to California’s beverage container recycling program. Starting January 1, 2024, every Washington winery that ships wine to California needs to register with California’s CalRecycle, file monthly reports, and pay processing fees on wine sold to their state. Also, starting July 1, 2025, wine bottle labels for wine sold in California will be required to include CRV, or California Redemption Value.
