US: Stricter rules considered for wine labels
Nov 22, 2011
(Miamiherald) - Read the label on that Thanksgiving bottle of wine now chilling in the fridge. It might get edited, if federal regulators step in.
Wine labels would add new "serving facts," under one proposal. Major allergens would be listed, under another.
And, in a third proposal that worries major U.S. winemakers in the vineyard-rich state of California, regulators could impose stricter definitions on label terms such as "estate," "reserve" and "vineyard."
Makes sense, some say.
" 'Estate' should only be used on bottles if the fruit is in fact grown, produced and cellared on the property it claims," Arroyo Grande, Calif., resident Jackie Ross said in a comment to the government on the proposal. "It is otherwise misleading to consumers and takes away from the charm of these hard-working wineries."
