CONSIDERAZIONI

Il CFR mette in evidenza una distinzione tra le indicazioni che devono riportare i vini americani e i vini importati. Si riporta di seguito l’estratto relativo:

(a) American wine—(1) Mandatory statement. A label on each container of American wine shall state either “bottled by” or “packed by” followed by the name of the bottler or packer and the address (in accordance with paragraph (c)) of the place where the wine was bottled or packed. Other words may also be stated in addition to the required words “bottled by” or “packed by” and the required name and address if the use of such words is in accordance with paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

(2) Optional statements. (i) In addition to the statement required by paragraph (a)(1), the label may also state the name and address of any other person for whom the wine was bottled or packed, immediately preceded by the words “bottled for” or “packed for” or “distributed by.”

(b) Imported wine—(1) Mandatory statements. (i) A label on each container of imported wine shall state “imported by” or a similar appropriate phrase, followed immediately by the name of the importer, agent, sole distributor, or other person responsible for the importation, followed immediately by the address of the principal place of business in the United States of the named person.

(ii) If the wine was bottled or packed in the United States, the label shall also state one of the following:

(A) “Bottled by” or “packed by” followed by the name of the bottler or packer and the address (in accordance with paragraph (c)) of the place where the wine was bottled or packed; or

(B) If the wine was bottled or packed for the person responsible for the importation, the words “imported by and bottled (packed) in the United States for” (or a similar appropriate phrase) followed by the name and address of the principal place of business in the United States of the person responsible for the importation; or

(C) If the wine was bottled or packed by the person responsible for the importation, the words “imported and bottled (packed) by” followed by the name and address of the principal place of business in the United States of the person responsible for the importation.

Nel caso di vino importato negli Stati Uniti l’indicazione che obbligatoriamente deve essere riportata in etichetta è quella del nome e dell’indirizzo (“principal place of business) dell’importatore/agente/distributore o altra persona responsabile dell’importazione. 

In etichetta si legge “PACKED IN…BY..” e sotto c’è una dicitura “SOLE US AGENT”.

È necessario riportare pertanto in etichetta la dicitura “IMPORTED BY” seguita dal nome e dall’indirizzo dell’importatore.
