Aromatized wines and aromatized wine-based drinks: definition, description and presentation (amend. Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91)

The rapporteur, Mr MARTIN (EDN, F), called for the deletion of the words ‘subject to possible enrichment with non-vine products’ when referring to wines or must used in the preparation of aromatised wine, which must be present in the finished product in a proportion of not less than 75%. Commissioner Fischler accepted this amendment. However, he rejected the proposal that sought to permit only dry sugar to be used as a sweetener for Glühwein, taking the view that the liquid sugar normally used for the preparation of Glühwein contained very little water.
