- It does not matter that a wine was bottled without labels (shiners!) then is later labeled by another winery site.
- It does not matter if you are an alternating proprietor that your wine is bottled by your host winery that you are sharing the same winery site with.
- It does not matter that you already have a COLA for a wine bottled at one winery site and the next year that wine is bottled at a different winery site.
OK wine industry folks, let’s clear this up once and for all.
When a TTB label approval (COLA) is required for the bottling of a wine who is the responsible party?
A. The winery that bottles the wine
B. The winery that bottles the wine
C. The winery that bottles the wine
D. All of the above
That’s it folks, always has been. It is always, always, always the winery that bottles/bottled a wine that is responsible for obtaining the TTB label approval for it.
