Appendix 8
Requirements for treatment to correct the alcohol content of wines
The aim of treatment to correct alcohol content (‘the treatment’) is to reduce excessive levels of ethanol in wine in order to improve the balance of flavour.
Requirements:
- (1) The objectives may be achieved by separation techniques applied separately or in combination.
- (2) The wines treated must have no organoleptic faults and must be suitable for direct human consumption.
- (3) Elimination of alcohol from the wine may not be carried out if one of the enrichment operations laid down in Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has been applied to one of the wine products used in the preparation of the wine in question.
- (4) The alcohol content may be reduced by a maximum of 20 % and the total alcoholic strength by volume of the final product must comply with that defined in point (a) of the second paragraph of point (1) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
- (5) The treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
- (6) —————
- (7) The Member States may require this treatment to be notified in advance to the competent authorities.
Appendix 9
Requirements for treatment to reduce the sugar content of musts by membrane coupling
The aim of treatment to reduce sugar content (‘the treatment’) is to remove sugar from a must by membrane coupling linking microfiltration or ultrafiltration to nanofiltration or reverse osmosis.
Requirements:
- (1) The treatment induces a reduction in volume as a function of the quantity of the sugar content of the sugar solution removed from the initial must.
- (2) The processes must allow the content of must constituents other than the sugars to be preserved.
- (3) The reduction in sugar content of musts excludes the correction of the alcohol content of wines which are derived from them.
- (4) The treatment must not be used in conjunction with one of the enrichment operations provided for in Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
- (5) The treatment is carried out on a volume of must determined as a function of the sugar content reduction objective being sought.
- (6) The objective of the first stage is to render the must suitable for the second stage of concentration and to preserve the macromolecules greater in size than the membrane's cut-off threshold. This stage may be carried out by ultrafiltration.
- (7) The permeate obtained during the first stage of treatment is then concentrated by nanofiltration or by reverse osmosis. The original water and the organic acids not retained by nanofiltration in particular may be reintroduced in the treated must.
- (8) The treatment must be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
- (9) The membranes used must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and with the national provisions adopted for the implementation thereof. They must comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV.

AUTHORISED OENOLOGICAL PRACTICES AND RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO LIQUEUR WINES AND LIQUEUR WINES BEARING A PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN OR PROTECTED GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION
A. Liqueur wines
- 1.The products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and used for preparing liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may only have undergone, where appropriate, the oenological practices and processes referred to in either Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 or this Regulation.
- 2.However,
- (a) the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume may only arise from the use of the products referred to in points (3)(e) and (f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013; and
- (b) by derogation, Spain is authorised to permit the use of calcium sulphate for Spanish wines described by the traditional terms ‘vino generoso’ or ‘vino generoso de licor’ where this practice is traditional and provided that the sulphate content of the product so treated is not more than 2,5 g/l, expressed as potassium sulphate. These products may undergo additional acidification up to a maximum limit of 1,5 g/l.
- 3.Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication prepared within their territory, the oenological practices referred to in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and in this Regulation shall be authorised for those products.
- 4.The following are also authorised:
- (a) sweetening, subject to a declaration and registration requirement, where the products used have not been enriched with concentrated grape must, by means of:
- — concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must, provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 3 % vol.,
- — concentrated grape must, concentrated grape must obtained by the action of direct heat, complying, with the exception of this operation, with the definition of concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must or must from raisined grapes to which neutral alcohol of vine origin has been added to prevent fermentation, for Spanish wine described by the traditional expression ‘vino generoso de licor’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not greater than 8 % vol.,
- — concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must for liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 8 % vol.;
- (b) the addition of alcohol, distillate or spirits, as referred to in points (3)(e) and (f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in order to compensate for losses due to evaporation during ageing;
- (c) ageing in vessels at a temperature not exceeding 50 oC, for liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’.
- 5.The vine varieties from which the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication are produced shall be selected from those referred to in Article 81(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
- 6.The natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine other than a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may not be less 12 % vol.
B. Liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin (provisions other than those laid down in Section A of this Annex and concerning specifically liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin)
- 1.The list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin the production of which involves the use of grape must or the mixture of grape must with wine, referred to in the fourth indent of point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, is set out in Section A of Appendix 1 to this Annex.
- 2.The list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin to which the products referred to in point (3)(f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 may be added is given in Section B of Appendix 1 to this Annex.
- 2a. The list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin referred to in the second sentence of point (3)(a) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, is set out in Section C of Appendix 1 to this Annex.
- 3.The products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and concentrated grape must and partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes referred to in point (3)(f)(iii) of that Part II of Annex VII used for the preparation of liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin must come from the region whose name the liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin in question bears.
- However, as concerns liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Condado de Huelva’, ‘Málaga’ and ‘Jerez-Xérès-Sherry’, the must of raisined grapes to which neutral alcohol of vine origin has been added to prevent fermentation, obtained from the Pedro Ximénez vine variety, may come from the ‘Montilla-Moriles’ region.
- 4.The operations referred to in points 1 to 4 of Section A of this Annex for the preparation of a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin may be performed only within the region referred to in point 3.
- However, as regards the liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin for which the designation ‘Porto’ is reserved for the product prepared from grapes obtained from the region delimited as the ‘Douro’, the additional manufacturing and ageing processes may take place either in the aforementioned region or in Vila Nova de Gaia — Porto.
- 5.Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin prepared within their territory:
- (a) the natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin may not be less than 12 % vol. However, some liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin on one of the lists given in Section A of Appendix 2 to this Annex may be obtained from:
- (i) grape must with a natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 10 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of spirit obtained from wine or grape marc with a designation of origin, possibly from the same holding; or
- (ii) partially fermented grape must or, in the case of the second indent below, from wine with an initial natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than:
- — 11 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of neutral alcohol, or of a distillate of wine with an actual alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 70 % vol., or of spirit of vinous origin,
- — 10,5 % vol. for wines prepared from white grape must referred to in list 3 given in Section A of Appendix 2,
- — 9 % vol. in the case of a Portuguese liqueur wine bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’, the production of which is traditional and customary in accordance with the national legislation, which makes express provision for such a wine;
- (b) the list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin having, notwithstanding point (3)(b) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, a total alcoholic strength by volume of less than 17,5 % vol. but not less than 15 % vol., is set out in Section B of Appendix 2 to this Annex.
- 5a. When a derogation as referred to in Appendix 1 or Appendix 2 to this Annex is intended to be used only for certain products covered by the same protected designation of origin, the list of those products allowed to use the relevant derogation shall be part of the specification of that protected designation of origin.

- — obtained from harvests at least 85 % of which are of the vine varieties listed in Appendix 3,
- — derived from musts with an initial natural sugar content of at least 212 grams per litre,
- — obtained by adding alcohol, distillate or spirits, as referred to in points (3)(e) and (f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 to the exclusion of any other enrichment.
- 7.Insofar as is necessary to conform to traditional production practices, Member States may, for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin produced within their territory, stipulate that the specific traditional name ‘vin doux naturel’ is used only for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin which are:
- — made directly by producers harvesting the grapes and exclusively from their harvests of Muscatel, Grenache, Maccabeo or Malvoisie grapes; however, harvests which have been obtained from vineyards that are also planted with vine varieties other than the four indicated above may be included provided these do not constitute more than 10 % of the total stock,
- — obtained within the limit of a yield per hectare of 40 hl of grape must referred to in the first and fourth indents of point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, any greater yield resulting in the entire harvest ceasing to be eligible for the description ‘vin doux naturel’,
- — derived from a grape must as referred to above with an initial natural sugar content of at least 252 grams per litre,
- — obtained, to the exclusion of any other enrichment, by the addition of alcohol of vinous origin amounting in pure alcohol to a minimum of 5 % of the volume of the grape must as referred to above used and a maximum represented by the lower of the following two proportions:
- — either 10 % of the volume of the abovementioned grape must used, or,
- — 40 % of the total alcoholic strength by volume of the finished product represented by the sum of the actual alcoholic strength by volume and the equivalent of the potential alcoholic strength by volume calculated on the basis of 1 % vol. of pure alcohol for 17,5 grams of residual sugar per litre.
