Papapietro Perry Winery and Four Roses Bourbon Take Top Honors (March 6, 2026) — Winners have been announced in the fifth annual Los Angeles Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge. A pinot noir from Papapietro Perry (Sonoma County, Calif.) and a small batch bourbon from Four Roses Distillery (Lawrenceburg, Ky.) topped their fields to be named Best of the Best.

Forget the harsh, high-proof jars of yesteryear. This is Moon Moonshine, a modern spirit for a modern drinker: smooth, flavorful, mixable, and built for today’s drinkers. It’s low sugar, low calories, no artificial ingredients, and has a lighter, smoother finish than most tequila or whiskey.  Crafted in Kentucky with non-GMO corn, premium limestone and shale–filtered spring water, and distilled in copper pot stills, Moon Moonshine delivers a clean, contemporary take on America’s original spirit. Three all-natural flavors—Citrus, Berry, and Tropical—come in at 35% ABV. Launched just four months ago, the brand is already picking up major traction in Florida.

What a difference a few years can make! In 2020, O-I launched our first community glass recycling program in Perrysburg, Ohio, home to our Global Headquarters. Since then, our efforts have expanded and we now operate more than 20 glass recycling programs throughout the United States. These initiatives have sparked the enthusiasm and passion of communities and residents for glass recycling, leading to rapid growth in many of our programs. This growth couldn’t be more timely, as O-I recently announced a bold new target: achieving an average of 60% recycled content in our packaging globally by 2030. Our community programs are a crucial part of our strategy to reach this ambitious goal. These creative and effective community recycling ecosystems not only increase the availability of recycled glass (cullet) for manufacturing but also keep glass out of the landfills. With the support of our dedicated partners across the value chain, we are transforming the landscape of glass recycling
