Jonathan Eichholz Could the team look at updating this document re: the 2023 changes around EU labeling? They got a lot more strict about labeling in wine and are now requiring an ingredient list and nutritional information on a per 100 mL basis.
For the EU RS levels: still wines, the 9-18 g/l should be provided that TA is within 10 g/l of residual sugar, not 2.
That's an important change indeed. Thanks for sharing.
It would appear that the following EU PDO requirement no longer applies: 'It is obtained from vine varieties belonging to Vitis vinifera.' REGULATION (EU) 2021/2117 amended that regulation in December 2021 to read 'obtained from vine varieties belonging to Vitis vinifera or a cross between the Vitis vinifera species and other species of the genus Vitis.' See Decanter: EU grants member states the right to use resistant hybrid varieties in appellation wines
Thanks for all of these edits, Keith!
the PDO equivalent term for Spain should read 'Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP)' instead of 'Denominación de Origin Protegida (DOP)'
'Blaufränkish' should read 'Blaufränkisch'
'Luxemburg' should read 'Luxembourg'
