Wine Label Printing
Things to Know about Wine Label Prints
Wine labels are normally used for aesthetic purposes. These connote the age, origin and the process how the wine was made; the more elegant the label design, the more aged and meticulous the winemaking process is.
As time went by, however, policies and standards had to be created not only to maintain the quality of the wines, but also to protect the consumers from the content of the wine. Today, most countries that have a strong wine industry enforce strict regulation policies for wine labels. Wine labels should inform consumers about the type of wine, alcohol per volume, brand, who and where it was bottled and its quantity.
If you plan to print out wine labels to be attached to your wine products, below are information that you should keep in mind when designing and printing the labels:
Brand
The labels must contain the name of the company that produced the wine. The name of the person who made the wine can also be used as the brand name. Remember that you cannot use misleading names that point out to the age, origin, or characteristics of the product.
Class
Wines are seperated into nine different classes, each one having their own unique properties. It's important to include the class of the wine that you are producing. The most common are table wines, which are labeled as Class 1. This can help consumers identify your wine from other categories and provide a simple flavor grouping for wines.
Alcohol content
Alcohol content must be indicated in wines that have more than 14% alcohol by volume. While for wines that are under 14% can indicate its content by alcohol by volume, or by designations “Table Wine” or “Light Wine.”
Location
The name and address of the bottler must be preceded by the words “Bottled by” on the label. If the bottler and producer of the wine are two different companies, use the format: “Bottled by X (bottler); Bottled for Y Producer.“
Quantity of content
The volume of the content must also be indicated. In the US, the metric system is used as a standard of measure for the bottle's content. If the bottle's measurements is non-standard, the net contents statement must appear on a label affixed to the front of the bottle.
