Pioneers in the steel keg wine biz, Bruce Schneider and Charles Bieler started the Gotham Project in 2010 with a mission statement to diminish wine's carbon footprint by reducing the need for bottles. To date, the count is around 4 million saved. Their new project is Return & Reuse. Purchase and enjoy a bottle, then bring the empty back to the place of purchase. Gotham Project will pick it up, sterilize and refill it.
