The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has proposed creating two new American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which are specific geographic regions used for labeling wine.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative action that allows winemakers to specify exactly where their grapes were grown, which can help consumers identify specific regional styles or origins.
Who it affects
- Wine producers and vintners in the specified Texas counties
This is a proposed rule from the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau; readers should consult the Federal Register before relying on these changes.
