wine regulations

Wine regulations are laws and standards that govern the production, labeling, and sale of wine to ensure quality and protect consumers. These regulations often include rules about where grapes can be grown (appellation), how wines are produced, and labeling requirements that inform consumers about the wine's origin, ingredients, and alcohol content. Agencies like the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in the U.S. enforce compliance. Additionally, some countries have strict classifications, such as AOC in France, to preserve traditional winemaking practices and maintain high standards for specific regions.
