The fastest and safest way to the EU E-Label for wine.

All wines produced and put into circulation after Dec. 8, 2023 must bear the label.

The following information is mandatory: Nutritional information for 100 ml. Energy content in kj and kcal (this must also be stated on the bottle label). Information on carbohydrates and sugar in grams. Information on fat, unsaturated fatty acids, salt and protein, which can be presented either in tabular form or as text such as 'Contains negligible amounts of fat, saturated fatty acids, protein and salt'. The list of ingredients, consisting of grapes, sulphites and other additives and allergens. Recycling details must also be provided for export to Italy. Additional details such as alcohol content, grape varieties, quality, logos and bottle images are optional.

The legislation applies to wine, sparkling wine, semi-sparkling wine etc. and flavored wine products such as mulled wine and liqueur wines such as port. For mixed wine drinks such as wine spritzers, the general food law applies. These are therefore not affected. Caution: in the case of Austrian "Spritzer", we have heard differing statements from winegrowers. They said that the control authorities had instructed them to state the nutritional information and ingredients here too, as the wine content is 50%. Unfortunately, the information currently differs from country to country.

Here, the winemaker has a choice: either the information on nutritional values and ingredients is printed on the label, or the information is written behind a QR code as a so-called 'off-label solution'. With the latter solution, only the QR code with the heading 'Ingredients & nutritional values' and the calorific value need to be printed on the label, which saves a lot of space. Other information that must appear on the label, such as the statement 'contains sulphites', remains unaffected by the new regulation and must continue to appear explicitly on the label.

On the label, in the web store, as well as on catalogs and price lists with ordering options. You must make the information available to consumers wherever consumers can purchase your products. This means on the bottle (for purchase on the store floor), in the web store and on price lists with the option to order.

No. Regulation 2021/2117 states: 'After the date of application of the new labeling rules, existing wine stocks should be allowed to be marketed until exhaustion. Operators should be given sufficient time to adapt to the new labeling rules before they are applied'.

Yes, Regulation 2021/2117 currently only applies to the entire European Union.

The label must be available online for between 3 and 10 years, depending on the quality level. Our service includes a standard period of 10 years, which can be extended on request.

For non-bottled wine produced after 8.12., the same information must be provided as for bottled wine.
