IN THIS ISSUE

Greetings! This week we’re announcing the approval of two grape varieties that may be used as type designations for American wine, welcoming you to invite us to participate in your events, and recruiting for three alcohol labeling and formula specialist positions.

NEW GRAPE VARIETY NAMES APPROVED

We recently granted administrative approval for the use of the following grape variety names as type designations on American wine labels: Albillo Mayor and the synonymous names Tibouren and Rossese.

Wine bottlers may use these names, as well as other names granted administrative approval, to label American wines pending the results of our next rulemaking to revise the list of grape variety names approved for use in designating American wines at 27 CFR 4.91.

Visit Grape Variety Designations on American Wine Labels at TTB.gov for additional information about the regulation of grape variety names.
