REGULATIONS AND WINE OF ORIGIN SCHEME AMENDMENTS

The following amendments are included in the draft regulation and scheme amendments (Annexure A and B): inclusion of a definition for “wort”, amend the maximum alcohol content of kombucha and sugar fermented alcoholic beverage to make provision for the addition of a spirit, amend the definition of a sugar fermented alcoholic beverage by properly defining the use of other sugars of plant origin not provided for in the Act and the regulations to exclude existing classes of liquor products and prevent overlap with classes like cider, alcoholic fruit beverages, etc, which was the unintended consequence of the previous wording that only referred to sugar of plant origin. Clarify that a class designation on the main label must be indicated horizontally, amendment of Table 6 to update the list of additives to liquor products, including beer and other fermented beverages, make provision for the addition of salt to an alcoholic fruit beverage and the subsequent indication of flavourings on the label, deletion of the Moscato class, amendment of Table 1 to specify the cultivars that may use the cultivar descriptor Moscato, specify the conditions there-to and ensure alignment with international requirements, make provision for a definition of “field blend” and remove the mandatory IBU requirement in the definition of beer.
