(1)Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91 3 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 122/94 4 have proved successful in regulating aromatised wines, aromatised wine-based drinks and aromatised wine-product cocktails (‘aromatised wine products’). However, in the light of technologic innovation, market developments and evolving consumer expectations it is necessary to update the rules applicable to the definition, description, presentation, labelling and protection of geographical indications of certain aromatised wine products, while taking into account traditional production methods.
