Wine-Specific Labeling

The following must appear on a label in a single field of vision (i.e. can be viewed without having to turn the bottle), except for the Importer’s details, the Lot number, and allergenic ingredients.

Wine of “(Insert Country Name)”
Actual alcoholic strength
Nominal volume
Lot Number
Importer details (must include name of importer, local administrative area and member state) preceded by the word(s) “Importer” or “Imported by”
Allergenic ingredients (i.e. if wine contains sulphites)
Please note that wine variety and vintage may NOT be shown on labels of wine with non-geographical origin – only wine with a proper geographical indication may display such information.
