View Rule

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to amend its wine labeling and advertising regulations to remove a general prohibition against statements which indicate that a wine contains distilled spirits.  This proposed deregulatory action will allow wine makers to use statements such as "grape spirits added” or "fortified with brandy” thus providing additional information to consumers about their wines, while still providing adequate and non-misleading information as to the identity and quality of the products they purchase.
