Example of my labels for TJR Select

Good Morning!

I have the design of my labels done, or I thought I did. In the USA most of the labels requirements are pretty black and white. There are 16 items that are required (as of today). and I thought I would share what you can look for next time you are checking out the label of your favorite beverage.

1. Brand Name (TJRSelect)
2 Name of the Producer (TJRSelect)
3. Name and Address of the Bottler (Custom Crush facility)
4. Name of the Importer (My wines will not be shipped out of the country yet)
5. Name of the Shipper ( Yet to be determined)
6. Alcohol Content (example ALC 14.5% By Vol.)
7. Volume Content (750 ML)
8. Country of Origin (USA)
9. Sulfite Advisory (Contains Sulfites)
10. Government Warning ( (1) ACCORDING TO THE SURGEON GENERAL, WOMEN SHOULD NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES DURING PREGNANCY BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF BIRTH DEFECTS. (2) CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE A CAR OR OPERATE MACHINERY, AND MAY CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS.
11. Quality of Wine (This is more easily found on labels from wines from other countries)
12. Vintage of the Wine (The year the grapes were picked)
13. Type of Wine (California table wine)
14. Appellation or Growing Region (Area grapes were grown, Napa or Central Coast)
15. Varietal designations (Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, etc)
16. Descriptive Information (Normally on the back label, story about winemaker or the blend of the wines)

These are examples of the 16 bits of information on a wine label in the USA. Start to look for these and see what you can learn about the wines and laws and let me know if you have any questions!

Much LOVE and wine,

Tammi
