New procedure
Ireland is well-known for being precursor at enforcing new laws on alcoholic products that are widely regarded as restrictive, either regarding the taxation, or, in this case, regarding labelling.
A study dealing with: "Wine labelling with the list of ingredients: context, consumer’s perception and future challenges" was just released in anticipation of the new European reglementation. The study questions the perception by the consumer of different types of ingredients on the label.
The EUIPO and the european Commission just released a new data base that gives access to all the european geographical indications.
This data base will be helpful for a new brand to be released and avoid conflict with a GI.
The Act of Geneva is now enforced. The Act creates a new procedure of registration for geographical indications for wine, among other products. The registration has to be made through WIPO.
