Impact on Current Wine Labels Part 4 of the TTB regulations prohibits any label reference on a wine that indicates or implies an origin other than the wines true place of origin. For a wine to be labeled with an AVA name or with a brand name that includes an AVA name, at least 85 percent of the wine must be derived from grapes grown within the area represented by that name, and the wine must meet the other conditions listed in 27 CFR
4.25e3. If the wine is not eligible for labeling with an AVA name and that name appears in the brand name, then the label is not in compliance and the bottler must change the brand name and obtain approval of a new label.
Similarly, if the AVA name appears in another reference on the label in a misleading manner, the bottler would have to obtain approval of a new label.
Different rules apply if a wine has a brand name containing an AVA name that was used as a brand name on a label approved before July 7, 1986. See 27 CFR 4.39i2 for details.
With the establishment of the Palos Verdes Peninsula AVA, its name, Palos Verdes Peninsula, will be recognized as a name of viticultural significance under 4.39i3 of the TTB regulations 27 CFR 4.39i3. The text of the regulations clarifies this point.
Consequently, wine bottlers using the name Palos Verdes Peninsula in a brand name, including a trademark, or in another label reference as to the origin of the wine, will have to ensure that the product is eligible to use the AVA name as an appellation of origin.
Regulatory Flexibility Act TTB certifies that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The regulation imposes no new reporting, recordkeeping, or other administrative requirement. Any benefit

derived from the use of an AVA name would be the result of a proprietors efforts and consumer acceptance of wines from that area. Therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required.
