Ingredients Labeling
Starting with the 2022 vintage, the back labels of all of my Bravium wines have included ingredient lists.
My thinking is that a traditionally produced wine should always contain no more than five ingredients, otherwise it’s more of a wine cocktail. But there are myriad additives – including colorants, flavorings that add sweetness or fruitiness to wine, oak chips or powder and oak tannin that change the structure and mouthfeel, and finishing products that add vanilla, smoke or other notes – that can legally be added to wine with no mention anywhere required.
