Following a public consultation (Wine: reforms to retained EU law), the UK government has set out reforms for the wine sector that will begin in 2024.
Changes will include ending the mandatory requirement that certain sparkling wines must have foil caps and mushroom-shaped stoppers. The government will also remove the requirement for imported wines to have an importer's address on the label, but the Food Business Operator (FBO) responsible for ensuring that all legal requirements are met will still be required on the label. Further reforms will also give producers more freedom to use hybrid varieties of grapes.
The consultation response can be found HERE.
