New updates on the EU wine labeling regulation

Wine brands are searching for new labeling solutions to comply with the EU regulation.

Our COO, David Lees, explained some of the new updates and specifications during one of our webinars.


Some clarity on the deadline

The new regulations address all wines produced on and after December 8th, 2023. These products need to be labeled with ingredients and nutritional information, you can do so, using a QR code on your back label. That means, that all wines with 2024 vintage and beyond need to comply with this new legislation. Regarding 2023 vintages there are some specifications, the wine must is considered “produced” when it reaches the properties required for the product in accordance with the EU market regulations. This includes alcohol, acidity, and in the case of sparkling wines, also the pressure. In case, a sparkling wine needs to go through a second fermentation, this fermentation must be completed to be considered produced.
