Title: Establishment of the Virginia Peninsula Viticultural Area 
Abstract:

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to establish the 673,059-acre Virginia Peninsula American viticultural area (AVA) in southeastern Virginia. The use of AVA names on wine labels, which is voluntary, allows vintners to better describe the origin of their wine and consumers to better identify the wines they may purchase.
