SONOMA, Calif., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Free Flow Wines announced the winners of the 12th annual KEGGY Awards, honoring wine on tap leaders for their extraordinary environmental impact and commitment to sustainability. For the first time, the awards are being celebrated in April to align with Earth Month, reinforcing Free Flow's mission to drive a more sustainable future for the wine industry with reusable steel kegs – a truly zero-waste package. Additionally, Free Flow expanded award categories this year to also recognize winery partners who have saved over 50K and 2MM bottles from the landfill.

"We changed the award schedule to Earth Month to reflect one of our core values: sustainability." said Rich Bouwer, CEO of Free Flow Wines. "It is an exciting time to be talking about our wine on tap partners. Despite ongoing challenges in the alcohol beverage sector, keg shipments through Free Flow Wines have continued to grow—proving that wine on tap is not just the more sustainable choice, but also a smart one in today's market. We're proud to recognize the outstanding efforts of our partners who are reshaping the wine industry by providing a better glass of wine to their consumers."

This year's People's Choice Winner, Tupelo Honey, is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina mountains. The restaurant crafts brunches, lunches, and suppers that bring family and friends around the table for chef-inspired Southern fare.

"At Tupelo Honey, we brunch hard—and that means a lot of mimosas. By choosing stainless steel kegs over traditional wine bottles, we're keeping waste like glass, corks, and foil out of landfills. It's a simple switch that makes a big impact. We believe stainless steel kegs are the future, and we hope more restaurants and bars will join us in serving amazing drinks while helping to protect our planet." stated Lindsey Farris-Felty, Corporate Beverage Director of Tupelo Honey.
