"Packaging" it would seem...The rules on labelling of wines in France have changed since last year.
"Tous les vins devront renseigner la liste des ingrédients et les valeurs nutritionnelles sur leur étiquette pour être vendus au sein de l’Union Européenne (même si vous vendez uniquement en France).
So, unless it says it clearly on the label it is illegal. Nothing weird there, we have been able to find the alcohol content on every label, in fact I think that has been the case for a long time.
- Les informations sur la valeur énergétique et tout allergène potentiel devront être indiquées en clair sur l’étiquette.
- Les informations sur les ingrédients et les valeurs nutritionnelles peuvent être accessibles par un QR Code apposé sur le packaging de la bouteille."
The law says it CAN be accessed via a QR code. But doesn't mention at all the barcode.
I dug a bit deeper into it and it is more complex than it seems.
I had to find out a bit about it when I got ISBN codes for my books, but, as with if i bring out a 2nd edition of the same book, it would need a new code.
So if a wine wins a prize and the seller wants this in the code, he has to pay for yet another one. and a surprising number do win prizes at shows of all levels. (I don't even bother to record this info on the spread sheets that make up the cellar books.)
(Small prize for the first person to note yet again the use of an English word, at least in the right context, they do of course have their own word "conditionment" but the fact is that this word has too many other meanings.)

It dun't happen inside the uk as our items are mostly bar coded so know what they is. Items that ain't dun't miss oot because we charge vat on total spent, if the seller is vat registered. Yer could setup a till that scans bottles to identyfy them and add up the import tax and vat.
They will want to charge for booze coming into the uk to protect our own markets. Several options. If they can identify it or cross reference it to a look up table then they can charge on a scale. If not then charge per bottle fixed rate or by type, vine or beer etc, is a simple alternative. Wot ever method they use needs to be easy to carry oot at the docks.
Eye dun't know wot options they will use.
