00:00 The list of ingredients and nutritional information of the wine produced from this Friday and sold in the European Union
00:05 will have to be indicated on the label or via a QR code with a smartphone.
00:10 The wine has long benefited from a de-rogation, only allergenic ingredients such as sulfites must be mentioned.
00:16 But the European Union has put in place new rules applying to all wines produced from December 8.
00:21 For non-fervent wines, all those that have already reached the required characteristics are not concerned,
00:28 so it will be more for the next sales.
00:30 For effervescent wines such as Champagne, those from the 2023 sales and passing through a second fermentation after December 8 will have to obey the new rules.
00:39 The winemakers can choose to display the information on the label or via a QR code sending to an internet site.
00:45 This option was chosen by Vincent Cuillet, a Champagne producer.
00:49 "We tried to display everything on the labels, it really takes up too much space," he explained to AFP.
00:57 "We would have to change all the machines, the clothing, it's too much for the moment."
01:01 Some winemakers believe that QR codes favour winemakers using a lot of added products,
01:07 when organic or biodynamic wines have little use and can therefore easily display all the ingredients on a label.
01:12 "We are very favourable to transparency on the product and we considered that it was important to switch to this regulation in a modern way,"
01:20 he said to AFP in Nalleur, director of the winemakers' cooperatives who pushed for digital labeling to be possible.
01:28 The GS1A organisation, in connection with stakeholders in the sector,
01:31 developed standards for the minimal information to display on the platforms to which the QR code is sent.
01:36 The European Committee of Wineries, based on these standards, launched its own platform called U-Label, available in all languages.
01:45 GS1 also makes available to small producers its own basic solution,
01:50 as indicated by AFP's president of GS1 France, Didier Vélozaux.
01:55 Other companies offer similar tools.
01:57 In the long term, Didier Vélozaux stressed,
02:00 QR codes could potentially contain indications that allow greater traceability with water numbers, for example,
02:06 indicating sorting instructions and replacing bar codes for boxes.
