The plastics come from the caps

I can't just drink wine all the time
Sell water with glass and corks and I'd actually consider your work almost as important as whether you care about Digit (high bar)
Can maxi to?
Not for wine (too acidic)
Your beverage never comes into contact with the actual can. There's a lining in there I think
Or from the water the bottles are washed with? What do you do about that?
I package with new bottles every time
I wouldn't think that water residue is the source of this. My thinking is that the plastic seal in the cap is made from something that leaches more than most things
Yep, soft plastic liner on the inside of the caps. The softer the plastic, the more shedding. Plastic bottles are a harder, firmer plastic (though if recycled, also more prone to shedding than new plastic).

The majority of microplastics that you eat are shitted out.
What you should be concerned about are airborne microplastics which you inhale into your lungs, because they go straight to your heart and then get distributed around your body through your bloodstream.
About 95% or airborne microplastics come from car tires.
Car tires are constantly shedding microplastics, whenever a car is moving those microplastics become airborne
