Just saw this. down The Coke plant in Winona, MN is no longer refilling bottles (last Coke plant that did). They say that, "current and anticipated manufacturing standards go beyond the design of the bottler's vintage beverage line. Making the required upgrades were not a sound business decision." What a shame. Looks like once my supply is gone from last month, I will no longer have any Coke products in my Coke machines.
