producing certain potable spirits obtained from wine with a registered
designation of origin . This possibility may be used when the wines in
question surpass the normal quantitative requirements of the market in
potable spirits obtained from wine .
The amendment , which is the subject of this draft Regulation , consists In
limiting, when the preceding conditions are met , the transformation of
these wines into products of alcoholic strength of 86° or morej this
limitation waa not contained in the previous text .

to avoid a further burden by an additional production of products of an
alcoholic strength of 86° or less .
