- Does the e-label collect user data? Statistics cookies, analytics services or advertising trackers are not allowed in the e-label. Ask whether the pages work without cookies and without third parties.
- What does it cost in the long run? Watch out for fees per QR code, per year or per view. With many wines and several vintages, this adds up.
- How long does the e-label stay online after cancellation? Bottles often remain on the market for years. Wine control authorities recommend three to ten years, depending on the wine.
- Does the QR code stay the same when you correct details? Otherwise labels would have to be reprinted.
- Are nutrition values calculated? A calculator based on alcohol, sugar, acid and glycerol saves a laboratory order.
- In which languages is the e-label displayed? Exporters need the languages of their markets.
- Where are the servers? A location in the EU simplifies data protection.
- Is there advertising or shop links in the e-label? Neither is allowed, and neither may come from the provider.
