Change 1
RemovedRecital 8: (8) While the replanting of a grubbed-up vineyard does not increase the vineyard area, Member States should be given the possibility to set rules for replanting in order to better manage the territorial distribution of vineyards, for instance to avoid the relocation of vineyards to regions with a market imbalance or away from slopes and terraces, where they play an important role in the preservation of the landscape and avoid soil erosion. Member States should also be given the possibility to set conditions on the use of production methods to avoid an increase in yields and to ensure preservation of traditional production methods.
AddedRecital 4: (4) In view of the current decline in demand for wine, winegrowers who hold valid unused authorisations for new plantings and authorisations resulting from the conversion of planting rights granted to them before 1 January 2025 should be allowed to waive these authorisations without incurring an administrative penalty, with a view to removing the incentive for planting authorisation holders to plant vineyards where there might be no demand for the wine they will produce. For the new planting authorisations granted after that date, the administrative penalty should continue to apply in case of non-use of these authorisations in order to discourage speculative applications from winegrowers who do not have the intention to plant a vineyard, while also bearing in mind the need to preserve wine-growing activities in marginal and disadvantaged areas, where viticulture plays a key socio-economic role in preventing depopulation.
RemovedRecital 10: (10) In recent years, there has been an ever-evolving consumer demand for grapevine products with a reduced alcohol content, which are at present produced by de-alcoholisation by using certain techniques allowed in the Union. Consumers are familiar with terms such as ’0,0%’, ‘alcohol-free’ and ’alcohol-low’, which are widely used but regulated differently in various Member States. It is therefore necessary to harmonise the use of these terms across the Union. The rules on the labelling of wine products should therefore be amended in order to better inform the consumer of the characteristics of grapevine products with a reduced alcohol content, while keeping the obligation to provide information on the production method consisting of a de-alcoholisation. This should allow the Union wine sector to benefit from this development in consumer demand while maintaining high quality production standards.
AddedRecital 6: (6) Member States should be given the possibility to limit the issuing of new planting authorisations at regional level for specific areas with excess supply where national or Union measures aimed to reduce the supply (i.e. distillation, green harvesting or grubbing up of vineyards) are or have been implemented in order to avoid further increasing the production potential, while at the same time being able to prioritise planting in regions with land unsuitable for other crops, thereby capitalising on their wine-growing potential as a means of developing the local economy.
AddedRecital 8: (8) While the replanting of a grubbed-up vineyard does not increase the vineyard area, Member States should be given the possibility to set rules for replanting in order to better manage the territorial distribution of vineyards, for instance to avoid the relocation of vineyards to regions with a market imbalance or away from slopes and terraces, where they play an important role in the preservation of the landscape and avoid soil erosion. Member States should also be given the possibility to set conditions on the use of production methods to avoid an excessive increase in yields and to ensure preservation of traditional production methods.
AddedRecital 9 a (new): (9a) Rules for classifying wine grape varieties by Member States should be modified to include the wine grape varieties Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont, previously excluded. To ensure that wine production in the Union develops a higher resistance to diseases and that it uses vine varieties better adapted to changing climatic conditions, provision should be made allowing Vitis Labrusca varieties and varieties stemming from crosses between Vitis vinifera, Vitis Labrusca and other species of the genus Vitis to be planted for wine production in the Union.

AddedRecital 10: (10) In recent years, there has been an ever-evolving consumer demand for grapevine products with a reduced alcohol content, which are at present produced by de-alcoholisation by using certain techniques allowed in the Union. Consumers are familiar with terms such as ’0,0%’, ‘alcohol-free’ and ‘alcohol-reduced’, which are widely used but regulated differently in various Member States. It is therefore necessary to harmonise the use of these terms across the Union. The rules on the labelling of wine products should therefore be amended in order to better inform the consumer of the characteristics of grapevine products with a reduced alcohol content, while keeping the obligation to provide information on the production method consisting of a de-alcoholisation. This should allow the Union wine sector to benefit from this development in consumer demand while maintaining high quality production standards.
AddedRecital 11: (11) High consumer demand for sparkling wine products with a lower alcohol content or without alcohol represents an opportunity for the sector. However, the current rules for the production of de-alcoholised wines impose certain technological limitations for the production of such wines. According to the rules currently in force, wine products must have reached the characteristics and the minimum alcoholic strength of the corresponding category before undergoing the de-alcoholisation process, which implies that de-alcoholised sparkling wines can be produced only from sparkling wines. However, the de-alcoholisation process removes entirely any CO2 from the initial sparkling wine. Consequently, in order to produce a sparkling wine with lower or no alcoholic content, it is necessary to reintroduce CO2 in the partially or totally de-alcoholised wine that has lost its initial CO2 content, through a new, separate process. Therefore, it should be allowed to produce de-alcoholised sparkling wines, semi-sparkling wines, aerated sparking wines and aerated semi-sparkling wines directly from de-alcoholised or partially de-alcoholised still wines through a second fermentation or the addition of CO2, respectively.
AddedRecital 11 a (new): (11a) The legislation of third countries on the indication of the list of ingredients and nutritional declaration on the label of wine widely varies and it is burdensome for Union exporters to comply with the requirements set by Union law and by the law of the third countries concerned, at the same time. Therefore, to facilitate exports, it is appropriate to allow Member States to exempt wine to be exported from the obligation to indicate on its label the list of ingredients and the nutrition declaration otherwise required by Union law. At the same time Member States have to take the necessary steps to verify that such products are exported.
AddedRecital 11 b (new): (11b) Blending or coupage of partially or fully de-alcoholised wine with wine, or combining different partially de-alcoholised wines, enhances the quality and sensory characteristics of the final product. This method is simple to implement, cost-effective, and less energy-intensive, making it a more sustainable approach to producing partially de-alcoholised wines.
AI: Note on change 1 · substance Written by AI from the official text — check the source · deepseek-v4-flash · 4 Sept 2026
Adds recitals allowing winegrowers to waive unused planting authorisations without penalty, limiting new plantings in oversupply areas, and permitting disease-resistant vine varieties.
Change 2
RemovedRecital 15 a (new): (15a) Member States are authorised to choose in their strategic plans green harvesting interventions in the wine sector. In view of the situation faced by the wine sector and the structural crisis in certain regions and Member States, it is also appropriate to give Member States the option to include grubbing up and distillation in their voluntary crisis measures. Such an option will offer a common framework for such activities, avoid a distortion of competition and ensure a level playing field for both producers and Member States.
AddedRecital 14: (14) Member States have the possibility to adopt marketing rules to regulate the supply in the wine sector to improve and stabilise the operation of the common wine market. In the current context of structural consumption decrease and recurrent situations of oversupply in certain regions and market segments, it is appropriate to clarify that such rules can include the setting of maximum grape yields and the management of wine stocks. Moreover, producer organisations can play an important role in strengthening the winegrowers’ position in the food supply and in adapting supply to market trends. Therefore, Member States should also be able to adopt marketing rules in the wine sector taking into account decisions adopted by recognised interbranch organisations, recognised producer organisations, or recognised producer groups, when they are representative in the concerned economic area or areas.
AddedRecital 14 a (new): (14a) Certain Member States are not faced with oversupply but rather decrease in vineyard areas and wine production. For those cases, it is encouraged that Member States design specific interventions aimed at increasing the financial and other support to the wine sector with the goal of stabilising wine production and that these interventions should be made available directly to wine growers, with minimal administrative burden and without delay.
AddedRecital 15 a (new): (15a) Member States are authorised to choose in their strategic plans green harvesting interventions in the wine sector. In view of the situation faced by the wine sector and the structural crisis in certain regions and Member States, it is also appropriate to give Member States the option to include grubbing up and distillation in their voluntary crisis measures. Such an option would offer a common framework for such activities, avoid a distortion of competition and ensure a level playing field for both producers and Member States.
AddedRecital 15 b (new): (15b) To prevent the spread of pests and diseases and to safeguard public health and safety, Member States should be allowed to require the destruction of vines in abandoned vineyards. Such measures contribute to maintaining sanitary conditions in viticultural areas.
AddedRecital 15 c (new): (15c) In order to accompany wine producers after a grubbing up and in order to limit overproduction, it is necessary to allow the diversification of productions to be supported by sectorial interventions.
AI: Note on change 2 · substance Written by AI from the official text — check the source · deepseek-v4-flash · 4 Sept 2026
Adds recitals on marketing rules, crisis measures, abandoned vineyard destruction, diversification support, and wine tourism.
Change 3
RemovedRecital 22: (22) To adapt to market trends and harness efficient market opportunities, the maximum duration of the support for promotion and communication operations carried out in third countries in relation to the consolidation of market outlets should be extended from three to five years. The option should also be given to extend those operations for another five year period for the purposes of consolidating market outlets. When considering promotion and communication operations targeting third countries, it is relevant to distinguish among the different markets within the same country. In extensive countries, different regions will need different communication approaches. In addition, it should be possible for those operations to target different segments, including caterers or final consumers. It is necessary to offer flexibility to better address those differences.
AddedRecital 20: (20) With a view to developing wine tourism in wine regions with protected designations and protected geographical indications, it is appropriate to allow for interbranch organisations, professional organisations or, in the event that they do not exist, producer groups managing protected designations of origin and geographical indications in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1143 of the European Parliament and of the Council6 and other producer groups promoting vine and wine tourism, including cooperatives or associations representing independent winemakers, to be beneficiaries of the type of interventions referred to in Article 58(1), first subparagraph, point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council7 .
AddedRecital 20 a (new): (20a) To address the decline in consumption and the market instability the Union is currently facing, the Commission should encourage the Member States to invest in the development of wine tourism. Member States should be supported in facilitating the establishment and development of wine tourism infrastructure, including but not limited to cycle routes, bed-and-breakfast accommodations, parking areas, wine tasting facilities and designated wine trails, through the simplification of relevant authorisation and permitting procedures.
AddedRecital 21: (21) In order to strike a balance between the need for Member States to ensure efficient restructuring of vineyards and the need to avoid an increase in production that may lead to oversupply, Member States should be allowed to set up conditions for the implementation of the restructuring and conversion of vineyards as referred to in Article 58(1), first subparagraph, point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115. These conditions should aim at avoiding an excessive increase in yield and thus an increase in production for the vineyards subject to this type of interventions.
AddedRecital 21 a (new): (21a) In order to allow wine producers to adapt their production to climate change, it is necessary to let Member States allow additional varieties that might be more resilient, better adapted to high temperatures, resistant to drought or to new pests.
AddedRecital 22: (22) To adapt to market trends and harness efficient market opportunities, including by opening up new export markets and diversifying market outlets, the maximum duration of the support for promotion and communication operations carried out in third countries in relation to the consolidation of market outlets should be extended from three to five years. The option should also be given to extend those operations for another five year period for the purposes of consolidating market outlets. When considering promotion and communication operations targeting third countries, it is relevant to distinguish between different markets in the same country. In large countries, with distinct regions, certain of those regions will need different communication approaches. In addition, it should be possible for such operations to target different segments, including caterers or final consumers. It is necessary to offer flexibility to address those differences better.

AddedRecital 22 a (new): (22a) To prevent the spread of plant diseases such as flavescence dorée and other highly contagious pests, monitoring, diagnostic, training, communication and research activities should be included among the interventions that Member States can choose in their CAP Strategic Plans. Given the risks that highly contagious plant diseases pose for winegrowers across the Union, Union financial assistance should cover up to 100 % of eligible costs.
AddedRecital 23: (23) To strengthen cooperation in the wine sector, investments referred to in Article 58(1), first subparagraph, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 carried out by producer organisations recognised under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 or cooperative societies should benefit from the maximum rate of Union financial assistance set out in Article 59(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 as it is already the case for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC8 .
