The steering on labelling legal guidelines for wine imports into England has been up to date by the Division for Atmosphere, Meals and Rural Affairs (Defra).
When in place, it is going to be necessary for importers, retailers, and wholesalers to make sure that wine labels show the title and deal with of a enterprise based mostly in both the UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
If the meals enterprise operator (FBO) just isn’t based mostly in one among these places, the label ought to present the title and deal with of the importer.
These updates don’t apply to wine imported immediately into Scotland and Wales however imports there have to be labelled with the importer or bottler’s deal with or each.
Defra doesn’t require importers, retailers and wholesalers to relabel wine imported and labelled earlier than 1 January 2024.
