wine label can let consumers know clearly about a wine, such as the name of the most direct wine, where it comes from, the variety of wine grapes, taste experience and alcohol content, and even a large number of people regard these as one of the key factors whether to buy wine. In our thinking mode, the labeling of imported wine should be all in foreign languages. Although we can't understand it, we think it is the guarantee of authenticity, so when Chinese labels appear, our hearts begin to wonder if it is fake wine.

according to China's food safety law, imported wine must have a Chinese label, otherwise it does not meet food safety standards, and it is forbidden to import and sell. Mandatory labeling content: that is, the content that must be displayed on the Chinese label as stipulated by the State Administration of Inspection and Quarantine. According to the General Rules for the Labeling of Prepackaged Drinks and Wines (GB1344-25), Fermented Wines and Their Blended Wines (GB2758-212) and General Rules for the Labeling of prepackaged foods (GB7718-211), the Chinese label of imported wines must include.

2. Ingredients: grape varieties, grape juice and sulfur dioxide;

3. Origin: country of production, such as Spain;

4. Alcohol content: in the form of percentage, the unit is "vol", for example, 13%vol；;

5. Filling date: that is, the filling date, which can be specific to a certain year, month and day;

6. Storage conditions: dry, cool, lying in the dark, etc.

7. Manufacturer, importer and address;

8. Warning: Excessive drinking is harmful to health. Pregnant women and minors should not drink alcohol.

After p>28, China's Food Labeling Management Regulations: beverages, wines, vinegar, edible salt and solid sugar with an ethanol content of more than 1% (including 1%) can be exempted from labeling the shelf life. Careful consumers will also find that some wines only have a Chinese label, while some wines have a Chinese label after a foreign language label, even covering two layers, or not covering half of them.

The main reason for this is that China only stipulates that imported wine must have a Chinese label before entering the China market, but it does not stipulate at which stage the label must be affixed, nor does it stipulate that it must have a foreign label. Therefore, importers sometimes ship their Chinese labels directly to foreign wineries in advance, and sell them directly to China when filling, thus saving the effort of "reprocessing". In this case, the wine bought has no foreign language label, only Chinese label. And some importers will choose to put Chinese labels on imported wines when they leave the warehouse and are sold in the store. Because if all the Chinese labels are affixed when the customs leave the customs, it is necessary to unpack and seal the boxes, which is huge, time-consuming and laborious. In this case, there are two labels in foreign language and Chinese behind the bottle. But sometimes the foreign language label is too big, and the Chinese label is not big enough to completely cover the foreign language label, so some of it will be exposed.

When we attend some wine shows or new product promotion receptions, most of the wines we see have no Chinese labels. This is because these wines, as samples and exhibits, do not have the restriction of Chinese labeling in duty-free shops, embassies and purchasing from abroad, do not refer to the general requirements of imported food, do not belong to the trade category, and can be labeled without Chinese labeling. Therefore, as long as the wine is officially imported and sold, there must be a Chinese label.

the world of wine is complicated, and there are countless wines and wines in the world. Chinese endorsement is not only a symbol of qualification, but also an easy way for China consumers to find their own wine.
