CONTRACT BOTTLING



GENERAL
Contract bottling refers to the bottling, packing or filling of a distilled spirits
product by a domestic distilled spirits plant for an unrelated domestic distilled
spirits plant
Example: A Spirits is a distilled spirits plant located in Newark, New Jersey.
A Spirits currently bottles its line of spirits products only in 750 ml bottles.
The company would like to expand its size offerings to include 50 ml and 1
liter bottles. It is not, however, equipped to bottle in these sizes. Rather than
re-outfitting its plant, A Spirits elects to have other distilled spirits plants do
the bottling for it. A Spirits contracts with B Spirits, Cleveland, Ohio to bottle
the 50 ml size and C Spirits, Portland, Oregon to bottle the 1 liter size
The three companies are unrelated; B Spirits and C Spirits are contract
bottling for A Spirits
