The name and address of the person responsible for pre-packages

2.6                      The name and address of the person responsible for pre-packages

The name of the person responsible for the pre-packages is either:

  • the patronymic name of the physical person
  • the registered name of the company
  • or the commercial name of the latter who take the responsibility for the product put in a pre-package by themselves or on their account.

The address of the person responsible for the pre-package bears the name of the place where this was actually processed or carried out, this address being completed, if need be, by that of the pre-packagers' headquarters.

The name and address of the importer can be used in place of those responsible for the pre-packages.

Information about the name of the person responsible, his address, as well as the place the containers were pre-packaged, and those relating to the quality of the pre-packager should not be capable of creating confusion as to the wine's origin nor to the existence and quality of the evoked persons or businesses. To avoid confusion about the wine's origin, it is recommended that the name of the place or person responsible is replaced by a code, when these names constitute an appellation of origin or a geographical indication to which the pre-packaged wine has no right.
