A new Wine Act has been enacted in parliament on the 23 October
2001. The primary aim of this Act is to provide a sound foundation
for the development of the wine industry in Malta. The new
Wine Act has not come into force but when this happens it
is planned that the Act will upgrade the wine industry to
levels of standards currently enjoyed in Europe and supported
by the International Office of the Vine and Wine (OIV).
The new Wine Act with its subsequent regulations will provide,
amongst others, for the:
· Control of practices and processes used in the production
of wine;
· Labelling of wines;
· Establishment of an inventory of the wine potential
of Malta;
· Rules on the production of quality wine produced
in a specific region (Q.W.P.S.R.)
