delaware_phoenix Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 So even spirits have a Maine redemption value on the bottle? Did I read that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkbodine Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yes we have redemption on spirits, wine, beer, soda, juice,... As a producer/retailer we collect the 0.15 which gets sent to the state via monthly returns. The return amount is offset by any redemptions. Redemption centers collect empties and get 0.18 from us if we pick them up. Yes we get to pick them up too or hire a company to do it (I think they get around 0.25). Oh what a wonderful "system" Cheers, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dombrowskig Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Pine State Spirits is the new State Agent through 2024: https://spirits.pinestatetrading.com/ I see Maine posts a "Top 25" list with sales volumes. Is there a list of sales volumes for all spirits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
