US Goverment's New Low Carb Ruling
The US government issued their ruling on the caloric and carbohydrate verbiage that can be used in the labeling and advertising of wine and other spirits. As stated in the ruling, "Truthful and specific statements about calorie and carbohydrate content in the labeling and advertising of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages are authorized".
What This Authorization Means
In short, it means that wine producers will have new marketing opportunities to pursue. Many wine manufacturers are beginning to market their low-carbohydrate products as healthy and fitting perfectly into a low carb diet.
As example, Brown-Forman recently jumped on the low-carb bandwagon with two new and innovative products: One.6 Chardonnay and One.9 Merlot. They are branding and communicating the names One.6 and One.9 to highlight the respective carb count of the wines. One.9 Merlot has 1.9 carbs and One.6 Chardonnay has 1.6 carbs per five-ounce glass.
What Caused It?
A handful of companies had already started making low carbohydrate claims in advertisements and labels. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau was concerned about possible advertising misrepresentation and implying that the consumption of "low-carbohydrate" wines or spirits may play a healthy role in a weight maintenance or weight reduction plan.
The government's bureau is
in the process of taking a comprehensive review of all aspects of wine and labeling and advertising. One of the rulemaking determinations will be on the possible mandatory or voluntary use of nutritional information on wine labels. However, rather than waiting the completion of the more comprehensive review, the bureau moved forward with Ruling 2004-1.
Low-Carb Rules
The government's low-carb criteria from the ruling states the wine must have lower than 7 grams in a 5oz serving. Most Champagnes and dry wines will easily make that classification. In the situation where wines come with slightly higher carbohydrate content (more than 7 grams), the government approved the use of the terms "reduced carbohydrate" and "lower carbohydrate" (as well as similar terms). These can be used on labels or advertising as long as the term is used as part of a statement that specifies the number of carbohydrates per serving size, and compares that number with the number of carbohydrates in another specified product made by that producer.
