New Labeling Requirements
For wines not meeting the above criteria by December 8, 2023, compliance with the new regulations includes:
1. Ingredient List
Post-December 8, 2023, wines must include a comprehensive list of ingredients on their labels. The EU Regulation 2019/33 mandates that any allergens or their derivatives must be explicitly stated. The ingredient list should be preceded by the term "Ingredienti" (Ingredients), even if a QR code is used, as the ISO 2760 "i" symbol alone is deemed insufficient.
Ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight. Ingredients that disappear during wine processing should not be listed. Under Article 48 bis of the EU Regulation 2019/33, it is permissible to simply list "UVE" (grapes). Enrichment products and sucrose are considered ingredients, while yeasts are classified as technological aids and should not be listed unless they cause allergies or intolerances.
2. Nutritional Information
Nutritional information must also be provided, including energy value in kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (Kcal) per 100 ml. This information must be present on the physical label and expressed with the symbol "E". When provided electronically, the nutritional information should be in a tabular format and include the following details in order: energy, fats (including saturated fats), carbohydrates (including sugars), proteins, and salt.
All information must be displayed within the same visual field on the label, ensuring consumers do not have to turn the bottle to find this information.
