WHAT FEDERAL LAWS DOES TTB ENFORCE CONCERNING TOBACCO PRODUCTS?
In general, TTB enforces Chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26 of the United States Code). Chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code deals mainly with the Federal excise taxes on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes and other requirements, such as permits required for engaging in business related to the manufacture, importation, and other operations involving such products.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOUR LABELS ARE APPROVED?
A certificate of label approval (COLA) authorizes the certificate holder to bottle and remove or import alcohol beverages that bear labels as approved on the certificate of label approval.
WHAT A WINE LABEL TELLS YOU
As consumers become more adventuresome in their wine selections they look to the label for more information. What makes one wine different from another? What is the dominant grape in the wine? Where were they grown? In order to help people understand the meaning of all the information they see on a wine label, we created a tri-fold informational pamphlet which is available on our Web site. Feel free to download it or print it out. If you have any questions about Federal wine labeling regulations, please contact the Advertising, Labeling and Formulation Division at 866-927-ALFD (2533) or alfd@ttb.gov.
