EU E-Label for Wine: Generate Compliant Digital Labels in Minutes
The only winery management platform with built-in e-label generation. EU 2024/1143 ready, out of the box.
What Is the EU E-Label Regulation?
EU Regulation 2024/1143 requires all wines sold in the European Union to carry a digital label — an e-label — accessible via QR code on the physical bottle. This applies to every producer selling into the EU, regardless of country of origin.
The e-label must disclose ingredients, nutritional information, and allergens. No exceptions. No grace period after the deadline.
Deadline: May 14, 2026. After this date, wines without a compliant e-label cannot be legally sold in the EU single market — the world's largest wine market by value.
Compliance requirements
What Your E-Label Must Include
Nutritional Information
Energy value (kJ/kcal), fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt — all per 100 ml. Calculated from your actual production data, not generic estimates.
Allergens
Sulfites, milk-derived products (casein), and egg-derived products (albumin) must be highlighted prominently. Non-compliance is a food safety violation.

Enter your wine data
Varietal, vintage, production method, and additives used. If you already manage your winery in Cepaos, most of this is pre-filled from your production records.

03
QR code generated automatically
A unique QR code links to your hosted digital label page. Multi-language support included: the label displays in the consumer's browser language.
04
Print and ship
Download the QR code, add it to your physical label artwork, and you're compliant. Update ingredients or nutritional data anytime — the QR stays the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the e-label become mandatory?
EU Regulation 2024/1143 requires digital e-labels on all wines sold in the EU market starting May 14, 2026. Wines bottled before that date may be exempt if they were already labeled under previous rules, but any new production must comply.
Can I use Cepaos just for e-labels?
Yes. You can start with the e-label module alone and add vineyard management, traceability, or other features later. The free trial gives you access to everything for 14 days.
What happens if I don't have an e-label by May 2026?
Wines without a compliant e-label cannot legally be sold in the EU single market. Distributors and importers will reject non-compliant bottles, effectively locking you out of the world's largest wine market.
Does the e-label work for wines exported outside the EU?
The e-label is required for the EU market, but many non-EU markets (UK, Switzerland, and others) are adopting similar standards. Having an e-label ready positions your wines for global compliance and adds transparency that consumers increasingly demand.
