European Union Wine Regulation

European Union Wine Regulation establishes rules to ensure quality, authenticity, and safety of wines produced within member countries. It governs labels, geographic origin, and production methods to protect traditional wine regions and prevent false claims. The regulation also sets standards for wine classifications, such as “DOC” or “IGP,” and guarantees traceability from vineyard to bottle. Overall, it aims to maintain high standards, support regional wine identities, and foster consumer confidence across the EU wine market.
