Greetings! As part of our ongoing effort to provide on-demand educational information we are announcing two new offerings - a video series on the basics of trade practices and new and improved wine labeling pages.

TRADE PRACTICE VIDEO SERIES

As part of our ongoing effort to provide on-demand educational information, we've created a new TTB Trade Practice video series for the alcohol industry that explains the history leading up to the trade practice rules, defines the related terms, and walks through the four prohibited trade practices.
