Abstract/Description:

Chapter 4 surveys the European legislation concerning wines, focusing upon Council Regulation 479/2008 of 29 April 2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine (Wine Regulation), the wine provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products, together with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34. It examines the recent case Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne v. Aldi Süd Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co and Galana NV (2017) which construes the recent regulations. The chapter looks at the registration system for wine GIs and the protection of traditional terms. It discusses the opposition procedure, cancellation and rights arising from registration.
