French wine from an appellation, bottled outside that region

Carawaystick · 2014-12-13 23:47:13

I had a look at a bottle of wine in a supervalu tonight, labelled from an area Cotes Catalanes but the address on the label was in Herault department, which is not in Catalunya. Does anyone know/ have a link to the rules (in english) about labelling and how production/bottling works

Strictly speaking, bottling is mostly unregulated. Bottling on site allows a producer to print "mis en bouteille en château" or equivalent on the label and can be taken as an indicator of quality. Aside from that there's nothing stopping a winery from tanking the wine and shipping it to the UK to be bottled there as is increasingly the case with cheaper wines from Australia.Mostly it comes down to money, bottling lines are expensive.It's often cheaper to contract out the bottling and the best price may not necessarily be right down the road.
