EU Rules Require Wine Packaging to Show Manufacturer Details

Vinetur reports that the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation will require wine packaging to identify the manufacturer and provide contact information, either physically or through digital tools such as QR codes. Wineries face uncertainty because some implementing guidance remains outstanding, while long label-printing and bottling lead times mean producers may need to begin reviewing bottles, cartons and digital-information systems well before every technical detail is settled.
