Study shows that many consumers are unaware of the true nutritional values of wine. Nutritional labels on the bottles may significantly change their perceptions.
European Union has already imposed a requirement for nutritional labeling on wine, while in Israel it is customary to label the bottles only with their calorie content. Analysts in the US predict that Europe will follow in the near future. This could lead to significant consequences for the wine industry; while companies have so far expressed concerns about increased costs for compliance and labeling processes.
