Section 845-010-0910 - Wine Produced or Bottled in Oregon from Vitis Vinifera or its Hybrid Grades - Purpose and Applicability

(1) The Commission sets rigorous labeling standards for grape wine produced or bottled in Oregon to:

(a) Ensure accurate presentation of the product; and

(b) Encourage Oregon's wine industry by enhancing the quality, image and marketability of Oregon wine.

(2) OAR 845-010-0905 through 845-010-0930 apply to all grape wines produced or bottled in Oregon from vitis vinifera or its hybrid grapes, including restored or unrestored concentrated must of those grapes. They also apply to all grape wines on which "Oregon" or an appellation of origin wholly within Oregon appears as the appellation of origin, regardless of where the wine was produced or bottled. These rules prevail in any conflict between these rules and other rules in chapter 845, division 010.

(3) OAR 845-010-0905 through 845-010-0930 apply to grape wines labeled after November 1, 2007.

(4) The Commission may adopt rules to impose additional wine labeling requirements that the Commission deems appropriate to carry out the purpose set forth in this rule. The Commission may make a wine labeling requirement applicable to wines produced in some or all of the American Viticultural Areas in this state.
