All wines produced and distributed starting from December 8, 2023, must include the mandatory label.
Mandatory information includes: nutritional values per 100 ml, with energy in kJ and kcal (also to be shown on the bottle label), details on carbohydrates and sugars in grams, as well as fats, saturated fats, proteins, and salt, which can be displayed in a table or as text (e.g., "Negligible amounts of fat, protein, and salt"). The list of ingredients, such as grapes, sulfites, additives, and allergens, is required. For Italy, recycling information must also be included. Other elements like alcohol content, grape variety, and bottle images are optional.
The regulation applies to various types of wine, including sparkling, semi-sparkling, and flavored products such as mulled wine and port. Wine-based mixed beverages, like spritz, fall under general food regulations and are therefore excluded. However, there are conflicting reports regarding the Austrian "Spritzer," where some authorities require nutritional values and ingredient listings because the wine content exceeds 50%. Information may vary depending on the country.
Producers can choose to display nutritional values and ingredients on the label or use a QR code (an "off-label" solution). If opting for the QR code, only the code and the heading "Ingredients and Nutritional Values," along with the calorie value, must be printed on the label. Information like "contains sulfites" remains mandatory on the label.
The information must be provided on the label, website, catalogs, and price lists. It must be accessible wherever consumers can purchase the products, whether in-store, online, or on ordering lists.
No, Regulation 2021/2117 specifies that wine stocks already produced before the new rules come into effect can be sold until depleted. Operators will have the necessary time to adapt.
Yes, Regulation 2021/2117 exclusively concerns member countries of the European Union.
The electronic label must remain available online for a period between 3 and 10 years, depending on the product's quality. The standard period is typically 10 years, with the possibility of extension upon request.
The same information required for already bottled wine must also be provided for bulk wine produced after December 8.
