Description

Wine products such as (plain) wine, local wine, quality wine, predicate wine, liqueur wine, semi-sparkling wine and sparkling wine must comply with certain minimum analytical values (e.g. total alcoholic strength) or maximum values (e.g. total sulphurous acid). In practice, these values may not be met or may be exceeded. Errors or deviations may also occur in designation or cellar handling, which may be sanctioned (permitted) in exceptional cases.

Competent authorities:

a) Government of Lower Franconia for exceptional approvals according to § 2 WeinÜV in procedures according to § 19 para. 1 and § 20 para. 1 WeinG (= quality inspection for wines).

b) all governments for exemptions according to § 2 of the Ordinance on the Control of Wines (WeinÜV), insofar as regulations are deviated from which primarily serve the protection of health and deception, and no case of a) applies

Prerequisites

The deviation from the applicable rules must be minor and the composition of the product must not pose a health risk. In addition, there must be a particular undue hardship.

Procedure

An informal application must be made to the relevant government.
