About WineLabel EU
From the official readme · v1.0.6Description
WineLabel EU helps wineries comply with EU Regulation 2021/2117 (Art. 119 of Reg. EU 1308/2013) by generating digital wine labels accessible via QR code.
Each label includes:
- Ingredients — raw materials, acidity regulators, stabilizers, antioxidants, sulfite declaration
- Nutritional values — calories, fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, salt, alcohol content
- Waste sorting — packaging components with material codes and collection instructions
How it works
- Add a wine using the built-in Wines manager (or attach labels to WooCommerce products)
- Enable the digital label and add one or more vintages
- Fill in ingredients, nutritional values, and waste sorting for each vintage
- Share the auto-generated URL or print the QR code
Labels are served as clean, standalone HTML pages — no theme interference, no cookies, no tracking — exactly as EU regulations require.
WooCommerce Integration
WineLabel EU works standalone with its own Wines post type. If WooCommerce is installed, you can optionally attach digital labels directly to your existing products. Toggle this in Settings.
Features
- Unlimited vintages
- Full ingredient, nutritional, and waste sorting fields
- Clean, regulation-compliant label pages

Frequently asked questions
What EU regulation does this address?
EU Regulation 2021/2117, which amended Regulation 1308/2013 (Art. 119). Since December 2023, wines sold in the EU must provide digital access to ingredients, nutritional information, and recycling instructions.
Do I need WooCommerce?

What does the label page look like?
Labels are served as clean HTML pages with no theme styles, no cookies, and no JavaScript — just the regulatory information. This ensures compliance and fast loading on any device.
Can I use this in languages other than English?
The free version displays labels in English. WineLabel EU Pro adds bilingual support with a configurable second language and fully customizable label strings.
