Recently, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB“) also published a notice of proposed rulemaking with respect to labels of wine containing distilled spirits. Currently, most wine labels of fortified wine products are prohibited from mentioning that the wine contains distilled spirits.
TTB is seeking comments from industry members with respect to labels of wines that are fortified and/or contain distilled spirits and whether such may be misleading to consumers. The notice can be viewed here. Comments must be received by August 12, 2022. To work with Lindsey Zahn P.C. on filing a comment, please contact Lindsey here.
