In your Wine Haven tent, you sell a reusable plastic "glass" and say that according to your liquor license, the container must be clear.  But all the other wine sellers were happy to pour the wine from the disposable plastic cup into my stainless steel glass.  So I don't think you all have your stories straight.  Skip the plastic altogether.   The bottom line is that plastic is not healthy for anyone to drink out of, and compostable plastic is still a single-use disposable item filled with chemicals.  Please reconsider your policies for next year.
