COMMISSION DELEGA TED REGUL ATION (EU) 2019/934 
of 12 March 2019 
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as 
regards wine-g rowing areas where the alcoholic strength may be increased, author ised oenological 
practices and rest rictions applicable to the production and conser vation of grapevine products, the 
minimum percenta ge of alcohol for by-products and their disposal, and publication of OIV files 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regar d to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 
establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) 
No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 75(2) and 
Article 80(4) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2). Section 1 of 
Chapt er I of Title II of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 lays down rules on the categor ies of grapevine 
products, oenological practices and the applicable restr ictions and empowers the Commission to adopt delega ted 
and imple menting acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the wine market in the new 
legal framewor k, certain rules have to be adopt ed by means of such acts. Those acts should replace the provisions 
of Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (3) whic h should theref ore be repealed. 
(2)  Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 listing the categor ies of grapevine products provides that 
wine is to have a total alcoholic strength of not more than 15 % volume. However , by way of derogation, that 
limit may be increased to 20 % volume for wines produced without enrichment in certain wine-growing 
areas. These areas should be defined . 
(3)  Articles 80 and 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Annex VIII thereto lay down general rules on 
oenological practices and processes and refer to detailed rules to be adop ted by the Commission. The permitted 
oenological practices including the methods for sweetening wines should be defined in a clear and precise 
manner , and limits on the use of certain substances that may be used for wine-making and the conditions for 
using some of those substances for wine-making should be laid down. 
(4)  Annex I A to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 lists author ised oenological practices and processes. The list of 
author ised oenological practices should be clarified and its coherence should be impro ved. The list should also be 
supplement ed to take account of technical progress. To improve clarity, the list should be divided into two tables 
separating oenological processes from oenological compo unds. 7.6.2019 L 149/1 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 671. 
(2)Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific 
provi sions for certain agricultural products (Sing le CMO Regulation) (OJ L 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1). 
(3)Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 of 10 July 2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) 
No 479/2008 as regar ds the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restr ictions (OJ L 193, 24.7.2009, 
p. 1). (5)  Table 1 of Part A of Annex I to this Regulation should list the author ised oenological processes as well as the 
conditions and limits of their use. The author ised processes should be based on the relevant methods 
recommended by the Intern ational Org anisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), as contained in the OIV files refer red to 
in the table, and relevant Union legislation refer red to in the table. 
(6)  To ensure that producers of grapevine products using author ised oenological compo unds are better informed and 
acquire a better understanding of relevant rules, Table 2 of Part A of Annex I to this Regulation should list the 
author ised oenological compounds as well as the conditions and limits of their use. The author ised oenological 
compo unds should be based on the relevant compo unds recommended by the OIV , as contained in the OIV files 
referred to in the table, and relevant Union legislation refer red to in the table. The table should moreover clearly 
identify the intern ational denomination, the E-number if available and/or the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 
number of the compo und. It should further include a classificat ion of the compo unds into two catego ries, 
according to their use as an additive or as a processing aid, whic h is necessar y in particular for labelling 
purposes. 
(7) To simplify applicable rules and to ensure coherence between the rules laid down in this Regulation and internat­
ional standards, the former practice of duplicating certain information contained in the files of the OIV Code of 
Oenological Practices by reproducing the contents in Appendices to Annex I should be discontinued. The 
conditions and limits of use should follow in principle OIV recommendations, unless additional conditions, limits 
and derog ations to the OIV files are appropr iate. 
(8)  The Commission should publish in the Official Journal of the European Union the files of the OIV Code of 
Oenological Practices referred to in Annex I to this Regulation and ensure that the OIV files concer ned are 
available in all official language s of the Union. 
(9)  Annex I B to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 lays down the maximum levels of sulphur dioxide in wines produced 
in the Union. The limits are aligned with the OIV limits, which are recognised intern ationally , and the 
deroga tions required for certain sweet wines produced in small quantities owing to their higher sugar content and 
to ensure their good conser vation should be maintained. In the light of current scientific studies into the 
reduction and replacement of sulphites in wine and the sulphit e intake from wine in the human diet, the 
maximum limits could be re-examined at a later date with a view to further reducing them. 
(10)  The procedures by whic h Member States may author ise certain oenological practices and processes not provid ed 
for by Union rules for a defined period and for exper imental purposes should be laid down. 
(11)  The production of sparkling wines, quality sparkling wines and quality aromatic sparkling wines requires 
a number of specifi c practices in addition to the oenological practices permitted for other grapevine products. For 
reasons of clarity, those practices should be listed in a separate Annex to this Regulation. 
(12)  The production of liqueur wines requires a number of specifi c practices in addition to the oenological practices 
permitted for other grapevine products and the production of liqueur wines with a prote cted designation of 
origin has certain particular ities. For reasons of clarity, those practices and restr ictions should be listed in 
a separate Annex to this Regulation. 
(13)  Coupage is a widespread oenological practice which can have a considerable imp act on the quality of grapevine 
products. Theref ore, in order to prevent abuse and to ensure high quality grapevine products whilst also 
promoting a more competitive sector , the practice should be defined and strictly regulated. As far as rosé wine 
production is concer ned, for the same reasons, this practice should be regulated in particular for certain wines 
whic h are not subject to specifications. 
(14)  Union rules on foodstuffs and the Internatio nal Oenological Codex of the OIV already lay down specifications 
concer ning purity and identif ication in relation to a large number of substances used in oenological practices. For 
the purposes of harmonisation and clarity, those specific ations should be adhered to in the first instance and 
additional rules specific to the situation in the Union should also be provid ed for. 
(15)  Wine products that do not compl y with the provi sions of Section 1 of Chapt er I of Title II of Part II of 
Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 or the provis ions laid down in this Regulation may not be placed on the mark et 
and must be destro yed. However , some of these products may be permitted to be used for industr ial purposes 7.6.2019 L 149/2 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     only and theref ore the conditions for their use should be laid down so as to ensure adequate monitor ing of their 
final use. In addition, to avoid financial losses for operators with stoc ks of certain products produced before the 
date of entr y into force of this Regulation, provis ion should be made enabling products made in accordance with 
the rules in force before that date to be released for consum ption. 
(16)  Notwithstanding the general rule laid down in Section D of Part II of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) 
No 1308/2013, the pour ing of wine or grape must onto lees or grape marc or pressed ‘aszú’ or ‘výber ’ pulp is an 
essential charact eristic of the production of certain Hung arian and Slovak wines. The particular rules for such 
practice must be laid down in accordance with the national provisions in force in the Member States concer ned 
on 1 May 2004. 
(17)  In order to ensure the quality of the grapevine products, provision should be made for the implementation of the 
prohibition of over-pressing of grapes. Verifying the correct application of that prohibition requires there to be 
adequate monitor ing of the by-products resulting from winemaking and their final use. To this end, rules on the 
minimum percentage of alcohol contained in the by-products after the pressing of grapes should be specifi ed, as 
well as on the conditions for the mandat ory disposal of by-products held by any natural or legal person or 
groups of persons, under the super vision of the compet ent author ities of the Member States. Since those 
conditions are directly linked to the winemaking process, they should be listed together with the oenological 
practices and applicable restr ictions for the production of wine set out in this Regulation,

Ion exchange resins 
The ion exchange resins whic h may be used in accordance with line item 6 of Table 1 of this Annex are styrene and 
divin ylbenzene copolymers containing sulphonic acid or ammonium groups. They must compl y with the requirements 
laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Union and national provisions adop ted in implementation thereof. In 
addition, when tested by the analysis method laid down in the third paragraph of this Appendix, they must not lose 
more than 1 mg/l of organic matt er into any of the solvents liste d. They must be rege nerated with substances permitted 
for use in the preparation of foodstuffs. 
These resins may be used only under the super vision of an oenologist or technician and in installations approved by the 
author ities of the Member States on whose territory they are used. The author ities shall lay down the duties and re­
sponsibility incumbent on approved oenologists and technicians.

Requirements for electrodialysis treatment 
The purpose is to obtain tartaric stability of the wine with rega rd to potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium tartrate 
(and other calcium salts) by extraction of ions in supersaturation in the wine under the action of an electr ical field and 
using membranes that are either anion-per meable or cation-per meable. 
1.  MEMBRANE REQUIREMENTS 
1.1.  The membranes are to be arrang ed alternately in a ‘filter -press’ type system or any other appropr iate system 
separating the treatment (wine) and concentration (waste water ) compar tments. 
1.2.  The cation-per meable membranes must be designed to extract cations only , in particular K+, Ca++. 
1.3.  The anion-per meable membranes must be designed to extract anions only , in particular tartrate anions. 
1.4.  The membranes must not excessively modify the physico-chemical composition and sensor y charact eristics of the 
wine. They must meet the followi ng requirements: 
—  they must be manufactured according to good manufactur ing practice from substances author ised for the 
manufacture of plastic mater ials intended to come into contact with foodstuffs as listed in Annex I to 
Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, 
—  the user of the electrodialysis equipment must show that the membranes used meet the above requirements and 
that any replacements have been carried out by specialised personnel, 
—  they must not release any substance in quantities endanger ing human health or affecting the taste or smell of 
foodstuffs and must meet the criteria laid down in Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, 
—  their use must not trigger interactions between their constituents and the wine liable to result in the formation 
of new compo unds that may be toxic in the treated product. 
The stability of fresh electrodialysis membranes is to be determined using a simulant reproducing the physico- 
chemical compo sition of the wine for investigation of possible migration of certain substances from them. 
The exper imental method recommended is as follows: 
The simulant is a water -alcohol solution buffered to the pH and conductivity of the wine. Its compo sition is as 
follows: 
—  absolute ethanol: 11 l, 
—  potassium hydrogen tartrate: 380 g, 
—  potassium chlor ide: 60 g, 
—  concentrated sulphur ic acid: 5 ml, 
—  distilled water: to mak e up 100 litres, 
This solution is used for closed circuit migration tests on an electrodialysis stack under tension (1 volt/cell), on the 
basis of 50 l/m2 of anionic and cationic membranes, until 50 % demineralisation of the solution. The effluent 
circuit is initiate d by a 5 g/l potassium chlor ide solution. Migrating substances are tested for in both the simulant 
and the effluent. 
Org anic molecules entering into the membrane composition that are liable to migrate into the treated solution will 
be determined. A specifi c deter mination will be carried out for each of these constituents by an approved 
laborat ory. The content in the simulant of all the deter mined compo unds must be less than 50 μg/l. 
The general rules on controls of mater ials in contact with foodstuffs must be applied to these membranes. 7.6.2019 L 149/28 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     2.  MEMBRANE UTILISA TION REQUIREMENTS 
The membrane pair is formulated so that the followi ng conditions are met: 
—  the pH reduction of the wine is to be no more than 0,3 pH units, 
—  the volatile acidity reduction is to be less than 0,12 g/l (2 meq expressed as acetic acid), 
—  treatment must not affect the non-ionic constituents of the wine, in particular polyphenols and polysacchar ides, 
—  diffusion of small molecules such as ethanol is to be reduced and must not cause a reduction in alcoholic 
strength of more than 0,1 % vol., 
—  the membranes must be conser ved and cleaned by appro ved methods with substances author ised for use in the 
preparation of foodstuffs, 
—  the membranes are mark ed so that altern ation in the stack can be check ed, 
—  the equipment is to be run using a command and control mechanism that will take account of the particular 
instability of each wine so as to eliminate only the supersaturation of potassium hydrog en tartrate and calcium 
salts, 
—  the treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualifi ed technician. 
The treatment is to be recorded in the register referred to in Article 147(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

strength by volume of the cuvée and the tota l alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine before any 
expedition liqueur is added. 
6.  The addition of expedition liqueur shall be carried out in such a way as not to increase the actual alcoholic strength 
by volume of the sparkling wine by more than 0,5 % vol. 
7.  Sweet ening of the cuvée and its constituents shall be prohibit ed. 
8.  In addition to any acidif ication or deacidifi cation of the constituents of the cuvée in accordance with Regulation

in closed tank s. 
The use of carbon dioxide in the case of the process of transfer by count er- pressure is author ised under 
super vision and on condition that the inevitable gaseous exchang es with the carbon dioxide from the alcoholic 
fermentation of the cuvée do not increase the pressure of carbon dioxide contained in sparkling wines. 
11.  In the case of sparkling wines other than sparkling wines bear ing a prote cted designation of origin: 
(a)  the tirage liqueur intended for their preparation may contain only: 
—  grape must,
