In the November-December 2020 "Metric Today," which will be disseminated
shortly by our USMA President, it is reported:
"The US Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (ATTB) is seeking public comment regarding the elimination of
certain standards of fill for wine and distilled spirits as well as the
amendment of malt beverage net contents labeling regulation. Under the
proposals, wine and distilled spirits would require mandatory metric on
all bottles and add optional US customary units."
The change allows "optional US customary units" which are now prohibited.
Did I get this right? Shouldn't we be pushing back hard on this
backsliding proposal?
Unfortunately, public comment ends very soon, on October 30, 2019. I have
appended below the direct URL to get to the notice page. Once there, you
can click the COMMENT NOW! button to enter your comment against this
backsliding.
Notice 182 and 183:

Could one of our knowledgeable writers could post here a brief template
for a response that we each could modify for a personalized comment?.
