Adam Rack ’13, Milwaukie, Oregon, is a co-founder of Revino, headquartered in Newberg, Oregon. Revino is reviving the refillable glass bottle ecosystem in the beverage industry, focusing on wine packaging.

Rack developed an interest in sustainability at an early age. After graduation, he joined Oregon’s wine industry as operations manager at Coopers Hall and impacted the region by consulting on diverse keg wine programs and tap systems from small restaurants to the Oregon Zoo and Convention Center. In 2020 he launched a wine club exclusively featuring refillable bottles. His work has prevented the use of over one million single-use bottles.

He serves on the PR3 Reusable Packaging System Standards Panel, the Association of Oregon Recyclers EDI committee and is a team leader with his local Community Emergency Response Team. His work extends to policy initiatives across the country with NGOs in the recycling and waste reduction movement.

His diverse hobbies include baking, fostering dogs, hosting dinners and gardening with his partner, Sean Buchanan ’14.

Rack earned a bachelor's degree in theatre in 2013 from K-State.
