Why isn't there an ingredients list on your wine bottle?

When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the government created a separate agency to regulate alcohol (it became the TTB — Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau).

That agency handled labeling, not the FDA. When the FDA started requiring Nutrition Facts panels on all food and beverages in 1990, alcohol was already under TTB jurisdiction, so it was exempt. That exemption has held ever since.

This is why I don’t drink wine. I have a plethora of bizarre allergies, some of which are fruits 🫠
