1. (a)

   Type of product

   Indicate the type of product using an expression conforming to F2rules in retained EU law which gives the most accurate description of the product, e.g.: wine with PDO or PGI/wine without PDO or PGI/varietal wine without PDO/PGI/grape must for wine with PDO or PGI/vintage wine without PDO/PGI.

2. (b)

   Bulk transport

   For the bulk transport of the wines referred to in paragraphs 1 to 9, 15 and 16 of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the product description shall contain the optional particulars set out in Article 120 of that Regulation provided that they are shown on the labelling or that it is planned to show them on the labelling.

3. (c)

   Alcoholic strength and density

   For the transport of products in bulk or in unlabelled containers with a nominal volume of not more than 60 litres:

   1. (i)

      the actual alcoholic strength of the wine, excluding new wines still in fermentation, or the total alcoholic strength of new wine still in fermentation and part-fermented grape must shall be expressed in % volume and 10ths of % volume;

   2. (ii)

      the refractive index of grape must shall be obtained by the measuring method F3set down in Section 2 of Annex A to Volume 1 of the 2019 Edition of the Compendium of International Methods of Wines and Musts Analysis published in Paris in January 2019 by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (‘the OIV Compendium’) as that Compendium stands on IP completion day. It must be expressed by the potential alcoholic strength in % volume. This may be replaced by the density expressed in grams per cm³;

   3. (iii)

      the density of fresh grape must with fermentation arrested by the addition of alcohol must be expressed in grams per cm³ and the actual alcoholic strength of that product must be expressed in % volume and tenths of % volume;

   4. (iv)

      the sugar content of concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must and concentrated grape juice must be expressed by the content in grams, per litre and per kilogram, of total sugars;

   5. (v)

      the actual alcoholic strength of grape marc and of wine lees may also be indicated (optional) and expressed in litres of pure alcohol per decitonne.

   F4The information required by points (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the first subparagraph must be expressed in a way that takes into account any relevant provisions in the tables that apply to the measuring method for the evaluation by refractometry of the sugar concentration in grape musts, concentrated grape musts and rectified concentrated grape musts in Section 2 of Annex A to the OIV Compendium as that Compendium stands on IP completion day.

4. (d)

   Tolerances

   Without prejudice to F5provisions in retained EU law laying down limits for certain wine products, the following tolerances shall be allowed:

   1. (i)

      as regards total or actual alcoholic strength, a tolerance of ± 0,2 % volume;

   2. (ii)

      as regards density, a tolerance of six units more or less to the fourth decimal place (± 0,0006);

   3. (iii)

      as regards the sugar content, ± 3 %.

5. (e)

   Other indications for the carriage of products in bulk:
