E-label
What the e-label means for wine labels
Since 8 December 2023, wines in the EU must have an ingredients list and a nutrition declaration. The basis is Regulation (EU) 2021/2117. Both may be provided electronically, via a QR code on the label. The label itself must still show the energy value, which may be given with an "E" in kilojoules and kilocalories, and the allergens, such as "Contains sulphites".
The QR code leads directly to the mandatory information, without advertising and without collecting user data. The rule also applies to sparkling wine and dealcoholised wine. Wines produced before the cut-off date may still be sold. For the label this means the code needs a size that scans well and space on the back label, and it belongs in the design from the start.
Applications
For whom and which wines?
- Wineries and winegrowers, cooperatives, cellars and bottlers

Label set
Front, back and neck label as a set
The front label carries winery, site and grape variety, the back label mandatory information, energy value, allergens and e-label. A neck or shoulder label shows the vintage or quality level. Planning all three together keeps paper, colours and finishing consistent, and the bottle looks all of a piece. More about the bottle neck on the bottle neck labels page.
