Navigating the new E.U. wine label requirements with Bottlebooks e-label solution

If you sell or make wine in the European Union, there are new labeling rules on the way.  Fortunately, you’ve got a solution. E-labels by Bottlebooks are affordable and easy to use. If you don’t sell wine in the EU right now, this is still important to know, as some expect similar changes to arrive in North America in the future.

Here’s the background:

• All wines produced and labeled after December 8th, 2023 must feature new information on labels.
• This can be made available for access through a QR code or URL on the label. 
• This includes items such as energy value (calories), intolerances or allergens, nutritional declaration, and a list of ingredients.

Checklist:

Your e-label must have:

• Identify the product with a name, image, and other differentiating factors.
• List ingredients and declare nutrition information.

Your e-label could have:

• Include the logo of the company and an external link on the e-label.
• Include EU mandatory and optional particulars on packaging information and recyclability.

Your e-label cannot have:

• Do not require users to download any apps — the QR code should open the e-label directly without user action.
• Cannot include sales or marketing information. This is only for nutrition/ingredient info.
• Cannot track consumers except to track location for correct language delivery. 
• No PDF attachments on the e-label page requiring download.
