Mandatory informations to be noticed in wine labels

The front and back on wine labels:

Several wine bottles have two labels. The front label names the wine and takes your eye as you walk down the walkway, and the back label provides you a little more information, sorting from actually helpful suggestions like "this wine tastes delicious with food" to so-useful data such as "this wine has a total acidity of 6.02 and a pH of 3.34."

The U.S. needs certain information to emerge on the front label of all wine bottles basic stuff, such as the alcohol content, the type of wine (generally red table wine or white table wine), and the country of origin but they don't describe front label. So occasionally producers put all that information on the smaller of two labels and call that one the front label. Then the producers place an additional larger, colorful, considerably eye-catching label with little more than the name of the wine on the back of the bottle. Guess which way the back label ends up facing when the bottle is placed on the shelf?

The mandatory verdict:

The central government mandates that certain items of information come into view on labels of wines sold in the U.S. Such items are normally referred to as the mandatory. These includes
• A brand name
• Suggestion of class or type (table wine, dessert wine, or sparkling wine)
• The proportion of alcohol by volume (unless it is contained in the class; for example, the statement "table wine" involves an alcohol content of less than 14 percent)
• Name and address of the bottler
• Net contents (expressed in milliliters; the standard wine bottle is 750 ml, which is 25.6 ounces)
• The phrase Contains Sulfites (with very, very few exceptions)
• The government counsel
