SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The purpose of this notice is to 

announce virtual listening sessions and 

the opening of a public docket to receive 

input from the public on labeling of 

wine, distilled spirits, and malt 

beverages with per-serving alcohol and 

nutritional information, major food 

allergens, and/or ingredients. The 

Department of the Treasury’s February 

2022 report on ‘‘Competition in the 

Markets for Beer, Wine, and Spirits’’ 

recommended that TTB revive or 

initiate rulemaking in these areas. These 

listening sessions are intended to engage 

the public, including consumers, public 

health stakeholders, and industry 

members of all sizes, in addition to 

those who may traditionally respond 

through the rulemaking process, and 

facilitate the public’s ability to provide 

input to inform rulemaking. 

The Federal Alcohol Administration 

Act (FAA Act), 27 U.S.C. 205(e)(2), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury 

to prescribe regulations that will 

provide adequate information as to the 

identity and quality of alcohol 

beverages. The FAA Act does not 

require alcohol beverage labels to 

disclose a full list of ingredients,1 any
