TREAS/TTB RIN: 1513-AB07 Publication ID: Spring 2015 
Title: Labeling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages 
Abstract:

TTB requests public comment on possible changes to the labeling and advertising requirements of alcohol beverage products regulated by TTB. TTB has long required certain labeling, such as brand name, class and type, alcohol content (in the case of wines containing more than 14 percent alcohol by volume and distilled spirits), net contents, and in recent years has published updated standards for the use of carbohydrate and calorie claims. Because of petitions to mandate additional information, including ingredient, allergen, alcohol, calorie, and carbohydrate content, and requests by some to use labels with at least some of that additional information on a voluntary basis under existing rules, TTB believes it is now appropriate to consider revising the alcohol beverage labeling and advertising regulations, and seeks public comment on several issues to assist TTB in formulating specific regulatory proposals.
