This is the full list of ingredients on the label. In several cases, producers are not informed about the presence of wine beverage preservatives, flavors and incorrectly entered data on the percentage of ethanol and mass concentration of sugars.
On the labels of only four stamps, the experts found the information on compliance with the state standards (GOST 31729-2012 “Drink wine” or the GOST R 58013-2017 “Drink the wine of fruit”). In accordance with the requirements adopted at the end of June, wine beverages must be placed in stores on separate shelves and be accompanied by the inscription “the product is not wine.” The same designation, manufacturers are required to place on the labels.
All data on violations were sent to the Net. However, to make an unambiguous conclusion about the state of the market for such drinks, according to the results of laboratory tests the experts couldn’t. In addition, the results of the tests all the drinks turned out to be safe: potentially harmful substances not detected in any tested wine beverage, said Roskoshestvo.
In Roskoshestvo note: in the wine beverage must not be less than half the volume of wine. Up to half of the volume may be water, is also added rectified ethyl alcohol, dyes and fragrances. Sparkling this mixture is obtained due to the artificially added carbon dioxide. Wine drinks can benefit greatly by price. While consumers often can’t tell the difference between wine and a drink.
“However, wine contains only the wine and can not compete with the high-quality wine”, – said the Deputy head of Roskoshestvo Ilya Loev, noting that it is necessary to examine information on the label.
