In the two cases referred to at article 2.5.2, use should be made of the indications:

  • “blend of wines from …”, or another similar expression, where the wine is a result of a blend of wines from different countries; or
  • “wine produced in … from grapes harvested in …”, or another similar expression, where the wine is vinified in a country different to that in which the grapes were harvested.

In all cases, the countries must be displayed in decreasing order of the proportions of the assemblage.
