Wine Legislation: Mandatory Indications of Wine Products Based on EU and National Legislation

Presentation of Mandatory Indications

Based on the EU Wine Legislation, the mandatory indications referred to in points (1)-(11) must:

  • They should be concentrated in the same field of vision (front or back label) so that the consumer is not obliged to
    Turn the bottle/packaging to read the specific information.
  • They must be written in indelible characters and clearly distinguishable from the surrounding text or graphics.
    Exceptions are items (4), (7), (11) of the mandatory indications, namely the presence of certain allergenic substances, the
    indication of the importer in the case of imported wines and the batch number which may also be written in a different
    field from the remaining mandatory indications.
