REGULATION EU WINE LABELING 2024: WHAT WINEMAKERS NEED TO KNOW
Since December 8, 2023, the European Union has adopted a new regulation (EU) 2021/2117 that revolutionizes wine bottle labeling. As of December 8, 2024, all wine producers will need to comply with these requirements, particularly by displaying nutritional values and the list of ingredients. A small revolution for the wine industry.
What exactly does EU regulation 2021/2117 say?
This directive requires that each wine placed on the European market includes:
- Energy value expressed in kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (kcal).
- The list of ingredients present in the product.
This information can be indicated via a QR code or any other electronic link.
The goal? More transparency for consumers and better traceability in the wine production chain.
