Details Information

Abstract: In this notice of proposed rulemaking, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to amend its wine labeling regulations to allow a vintage date to appear on a wine that is labeled with a country as an appellation of origin. The proposal would provide greater grape sourcing and wine labeling flexibility to winemakers, both domestic and foreign, while still ensuring that consumers are provided with adequate information as to the indentity and quality of the wines they purchase. TTB is making this proposal in response to a petition from the European Commission.
