Hello to all with an interest in the wacky world of wine compliance! What is wine compliance you may ask? I know as a person who does this type of work I am asked that more often than not when the subject comes up. Wine compliance is everything from all of the required records and reporting that is done for the federal government, to the maze that is the direct shipping world of sending wine to/from the US states. I know it sounds terribly glamorous and it has its moments and really a lot more ins and outs to it than most would begin to guess. So this will be a spot where you can come to learn, discuss or ask questions about everything wine compliance related. I hope that it will be of use and interest to whoever comes across it. Some of our topics will include: TTB regulations, label approvals, required reporting, regulations updates, and useful tools for those of you who actually do this sort of work.
