A scan of the label shows tasting notes and the maker's story, then sells the next bottle, links to your review page and takes club sign-ups. It sits next to your legal EU "Ingredients" code as a separate second code, because the e-label itself must stay free of selling and tracking.
Wine sold in the EU can carry two codes, each opening its own page. They do different jobs, and the EU does not let them be mixed. Tapline can host both.
The plain page behind the code marked “Ingredients”.
The second, separate code for everything the e-label can’t do.
In plain language, from Art. 119 of Regulation (EU) 1308/2013 and the Commission's Q&A.
Tapline's e-label page is a fixed template for the information the EU asks for, with no tracking on the page and its own code for each wine. It is for wine only.
The bottle still needs the basics. The energy value and allergens must also be printed on the bottle itself, not only behind the code.
Spirits are different. The wine e-label rules apply to wine and aromatised wine products. Spirits are not covered in the same way yet, so check the latest position before you print spirits labels.
Tapline shows exactly what you enter and does not check it against your wine or the regulation. You are responsible for its accuracy. This is not legal advice.
