I am happy to be among the supposed 16% opposed to wine sales in grocery stores as stated by Wayne Pesce, Connecticut Food Association, "Law puritanical and antiquated") in, “Wine sales in grocery sto.
A slew of changes for implementation of the revised system have been rolling out since just after the updated bottle bill was signed into law. It’s been a little bumpy.
In Connecticut, it’s still called the “bottle bill” even though a deposit and return system for bottles and cans has been actual law since 1978.
That law has been updated only twice. The first time was in 2009 when bottled water was added to the very short list of beverages soda and beer that would carry a deposit, redeemable at designated collection locations. You paid five cents when you bought it; you got five cents back when you returned it.
