conservation of grapevine products, the minimum percentage of alcohol for by -products and their

transitional arrangements for the marketing of stocks of grapevine products.

regards transitional arrangements for the marketing of stocks of grapevine products corrects an error

produced between the entry into force and the date of application of Delegated Regulation 
(EU) 2019/934 can be marketed.
