How Domaine du Soleil Achieved EU Wine Label Compliance in 2 Weeks

Domaine du Soleil produces 45 wine SKUs across three appellations. With EU Regulation 2021/2117 requiring digital ingredient and nutrition labels from December 2023, they faced a tight deadline. Their existing workflow involved manually creating PDF labels and emailing them to a print shop — a process that could not scale to multilingual digital labels.

Using QR Digital Label, Domaine du Soleil onboarded their full product catalogue in under a week. Each wine was set up with ingredient lists, allergen declarations, and nutrition data in a structured editor. The auto-translation feature generated labels in 6 EU languages (French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch), which were then reviewed by the in-house export team. GS1-compliant QR codes were generated and sent directly to their label printer.

All 45 SKUs were compliant two weeks before the deadline. In the first month after launch, their digital labels received over 3,200 scans from consumers across Europe. The winery reported that the multilingual labels helped them enter two new export markets (Germany and the Netherlands) that had previously required manual label translation through an agency.
