Book excerpt: Unlike foods and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages containing more than 1.2% alcohol by volume are so far exempt from the obligation to display a list of ingredients and a nutrition declaration on the product label. Business operators may nonetheless provide these on a voluntary basis. In recent years, the alcoholic beverage industry has committed to different degrees of voluntary provision of information on ingredients and nutritional information. The current study characterises the market landscape from the point of view of the consumer, assesses the presence and the extent to which nutritional and ingredients information is provided on-label (i.e. ingredient information only, full nutritional declaration only, energy content only or a combination of those), and the presence of references to off-label (online) information on alcoholic beverages across EU Member States. Its aim is to complement the sector's self-monitoring reports with an additional snapshot of the market situation. The results will inform policy makers and support informed exchanges with stakeholders, in particular in the context of the Revision of the Food Information to Consumers Regulation (Regulation (EU) 1169/2011).
