| 99-33574 | Labeling of Flavored Wine Products (98R-317P) | Proposed Rule | The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) proposes to amend the regulations to create a new standard of identity for flavored wine products. ATF believes that this regulation change is necessary to avoid consumer confusion between established classes/types of wines (including varietals, semi-generics, and type designations of varietal significance) and products that fall outside existing classes because of the addition of flavoring materials. In general, ATF proposes that such products must be labeled as ``Flavored Wine Product'' together with a truthful and adequate statement of composition. In addition, we are proposing to amend the existing definition of ``brand label'' for wine to be consistent with the definition currently provided for distilled spirits products. This change would minimize the likelihood of consumer confusion concerning the identity of the product by making mandatory information readily visible to the consumer at retail. Finally, this document discusses and solicits comments on a petition we received from the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) concerning the labeling of wine specialty products. | 1999-12-28 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/28/99-33574/labeling-of-flavored-wine-products-98r-317p | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-28/pdf/99-33574.pdf | Treasury Department; Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Bureau | 497,19 | The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) proposes to amend the regulations to create a new standard of identity for flavored wine products.
