Revino: 1 Million Bottles & 100 Partners

In just two years since launch, Revino has turned its vision for a circular economy of returnable, reusable wine bottles into a reality. We’ve surpassed 1 million bottles sold and built partnerships with over 100 wineries and industry leaders, spanning bottle sales, pilot projects, reuse consultation, and more. With new return sites and winery partnerships continually launching, we’re expanding our reuse programs across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We’re so grateful for your support!

5 Updates Since You Last Heard From Us:

1. WE ACHIEVED B-CORP CERTIFICATION: 

Revino has always been a mission-minded organization. We care about a sustainable future, and our returnable, reusable wine bottles address the most carbon-taxing aspect of winemaking: the packaging. We’re thrilled to announce our B Corp Certification, as we join a worldwide cohort of businesses that prioritize purpose as much as profit.  

2. NEW REGIONS SERVED:

In addition to the dozens of wineries we partner with in Oregon, we’re now partnering with wineries in Washington state and California, and have collection partnerships with multiple distributors as well as return locations spanning Oregon, with some projects in the works in Washington! 

We’re also preparing to launch a Napa Area pilot collection and washing program with notable California brands, including Silver Oak, which tackles one of the most significant barriers to reuse: protecting brand identity for these large wineries. Many rely on proprietary bottle molds that are central to their brand image, and these pilots demonstrate they can maintain their unique brand identity while meeting desires of customers by participating in a reuse system.

By proving the logistics and economics of small-scale tasting room collection and washing, we hope the pilot will demonstrate commercial viability and provide data on consumer feedback, messaging, and staff engagement with reuse in their own facilities. Over time, these insights can help the industry transition toward greater standardization.

3. NEW BOTTLE MOLDS, LABEL REQUIREMENTS, & AVAILABILITY:

• In addition to our original bottle mold, the Antique Green, Burgundy, Cork design, we now offer two additional molds for wineries to utilize: Flint (clear) Burgundy Cork, which can be ordered for end-of-year delivery, and the Antique Green Burgundy Stelvin (screw cap), which is available now. We hope to offer a Bordeaux mold late next year.
  
  

• Wineries must now label their bottles with clear instructional language or include a QR code that links to information on bottle returns and the potential impact/importance of reuse.
  
  
• We’re teaming up with packaging suppliers, Saxco and Pioneer, to accelerate growth and broaden the reach of Revino bottles through their longstanding partnerships with wineries across the West Coast. This lets us rely on Saxco and Pioneer’s established logistics networks, enabling efficient bottle collection, washing, and redistribution. By leveraging their existing infrastructure, Revino avoids building its own fleet and warehouses.

4. NEW SERVICES:

We remain focused on expanding our partnerships with wineries committed to using our returnable, reusable bottles to lower their carbon emissions.

When our washing facility comes online in 2026, we’ll offer washing and sanitization services to all types of beverage producers (e.g., beer, kombucha, etc.), allowing them to reclaim and reuse their own bottles repeatedly. Glass is not a single-use package.

5. NEW FUNDING:

Early this month, Revino received a $250,000 funding package from Business Oregon’s Strategic Reserve Fund to support the development of our glass bottle washing facility in the Portland metro area.

Oregon’s wine industry generates $8 billion in economic activity, employs more than 40,000 people, and is increasingly constrained by an unreliable supply chain for glass bottles. This investment by Business Oregon helps curb that by building a circular economy for glass bottles right here within the state.

What's Happening Next:

1. Our washing and sanitization equipment has arrived, and our new facility is expected to come online in the first half of 2026. We are working with Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership to ensure operational efficiency and readiness to scale.Once our facility is up and running, we’ll be able to wash, sanitize, and inspect up to 40,000 bottles per day/shift.
2. We’ve been working closely with label manufacturers who expect to have a new washable adhesive for the industry to begin testing in early 2026, with the goal of broad availability soon afterward.
3.  Everyone plays a role in making this a successful effort! For these returnable, reusable bottles to have an impact, they must be returned so we can reuse them. We encourage everyone to look for Revino wine bottles with the unmistakable leaf inspired design on the neck and ‘reusable’ on the heel, to make a sustainable purchasing decision.
