BYOB usually means bring your own bottle ( full) to a party- but in Italy it has taken on new meaning.
Bringing your own empty bottle to Vino Sfuso shops where they fill your empy bottles with wine from large demijohns or even large stainless steel vats, saving you money.
No labels, no advertising, no free wine tasting saves you money.
Wine prices list both the price by the liter and also what a stardard 750ml bottle will cost to fill.
I shop at DiVino which is on Via Taddea near where I lived, but shops are appearing all over town.
Also in Greve in Chianti there is a vino sfuso shop down the small road leading out of the Piazza.
Often they will have 3 and 5 liter boxes of wine too.
A great savings when you drink wine daily like an Italian!
PS- if you don’t have your own bottle, they do- usually costs 50 cents and they cork it for free.
then just return with your bottle and pay only for the wine.
