Wine Labeling Regulations

By

The label of a wine must present some mandatory information. Focus on the regulations in force and all the information that must appear on the label of a wine.

The EC regulation for AOC or IGP wine labelling requires the display of the words " protected designation of origin”Or“ protected geographical indication ”on the bottle label. It is also necessary to affix the name of the PDO or IGP, the origin of the wine, the acquired volume allometric title, the origin as well as the name of the seller or producer. For imported wines, the identity of the importer must be written on the bottle and while for sparkling wines, the sugar content must be specified. 

It should be remembered that the AOP appellation is the European equivalent of the AOC, which means that a bottle of Bordeaux wine must contain the volume of the container and the alcohol it contains, the name of the producer, seller or bottler as well as the origin which refers to the geographical location.

How to manage the mentions on the label?

It should be remembered that the creation of wine designs follows a very strict process and first goes through a surface treatment of the bottle before moving on to printing and gluing. Also, the information on the labels must be clear before they are applied. If the winemaker chooses to present all the information, compulsory and optional, on the label of his wines, then the bottle may lose its aesthetic appeal because the label will be too heavy. The EC regulation advises in particular to keep only the information that consumers should know before buying wine, namely the specificities of the product, its origin and its allometric indication.

Finally, for producers who wish to affix other mentions on the bottle, it will simply be necessary to ensure that the mandatory information is positioned on the front label and that the optional information is presented on the back label. In this way, the aesthetics of the bottle are preserved and the readability of the label is improved, as it remains quite uncluttered in its form and content. For his part, consumers can easily find the information they are looking for and even certain additional information that they will have the pleasure of knowing.

Wine labels provide a great deal of information that is very useful to the buyer - provenance, method of vinification, year, grape varieties, etc. - which allow it to judge a minimum of its quality and value. Labels must, however, comply with certain standards as to their content and presentation which ensure the quality and authenticity of the wines. 

The labeling of wines is defined by a community regulation establishing general rules for their description and presentation, which differ according to the category of wine concerned (AOC, VDP, etc.). This regulation provides for each mandatory and optional information that we suggest you see in detail in the case of AOCs.
