EXPLANATORY NOTE  
(This  note is not part of the Regulations)  
These  Regulations  make amendments to assimilated legislation relating to the marketing of wine 
and oenological practices used to produce and conserve wine and other wine  products . They apply 
in England.  
These Regulations amend Ar ticle 53 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 of 17 
October 2018 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council as regards applications for protection of designations of origin, geographical indications 
and traditional terms in the wine sector, the objection procedure, restricti ons of use, amendments to 
product specifications, cancellation of protection, and labelling and presentation (EUR 2019/33)  
(“Regulation (EU) 2019/33”). The amendment inserts a provision in Reg ulation (EU) 2019/33 
prohibiting the marketing of a product using the term “ice wine”, “icewine” or “ice -wine” (whether 
in English or a different language) and similar terms (whether in English or in a different language), 
unless the product is wine made exclusively from grapes naturally frozen on the vine  (regulation 2). 
These Regulations also amend Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 of 12 March 2019 
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as 
regards wine -growing areas where the alcoholic strength may be increased, authorised oenological 
practices and restrictions applicable to the production and conservation of grapevine products, the 
minimum percentage of alcohol for by -products and their disposal, and publication of OIV files  
(EUR 2019/934) (“Regulation (EU) 201 9/934”)  (regulation 3 and the Schedule).  
Regulation (EU) 2019/934 authorises specified oenological practices. It supplements Article 80(1) 
of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 
2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (EUR 2013/1308) 
(“Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 ”). Article 80(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 prohibits the 
use of unauthorised oenological practices in the production and conservation of wine and other wine 
products.  The amendments made b y this instrument to Regulation (EU) 2019/934 make changes to 
the oenological practices that may be used in the production and conservation of wine and other 
wine products . 
Regulations 10, 11 and 12 of the Wine Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2936) (“the 2011 Regulations”) 
enable warning  notices, enforcement notices and prohibition notice s to be served where there is 
believed to be a contravention of “the assimilated Regulations” as defined in those Regulations. 
Those notice provisions will apply in relation to the contravention of the new ice wine etc. 
prohibition in Article 53 of Regulation (EU) 2019/33. It also applies in relation to a contravention 
of Article 80(1) of  Regulati on (EU) No 1308/2013 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 where an 
unauthorised oenological practice is used to produce or conserve a wine or other wine product.  
A failure to comply with an enforcement or prohibition notice served under the 2011 Regulations is 
an offence under regulation 14(2)(a) of those Regulations. A failure to comply with a provision of 
the assimilated Regulations after receiving a warning noti ce served under the 2011 Regulations is 
an offence under regulation 14(2)(b) of the 2011 Regulations.  
A copy of the 2023 issue of the International Code of Oenological Practices and the 2023 issue of 
the International Oenological Codex, both published by the International Organisation of Vine and 
Wine in January 2023, may be inspected, by arrangement, free  of charge at the Department for
