Notification of wine and grape must stocks

If you or your company own grape must, wine or sparkling wine as of July 31, you must submit a corresponding declaration to the competent authority by September 10.

All natural and legal persons and their associations who own grape must, wine or sparkling wine on July 31 are obliged to submit an annual wine and/or grape must stock declaration. All stocks of products originating from own or third-party production that are stored in own or rented premises on the reporting date must be reported. It is irrelevant whether these are stored in tanks, barrels or bottles.

If there are no more stocks compared to the last report because they have been sold or remaining stocks have been transferred to private stock (no more sales, only personal use), a zero report is mandatory.

Retailers who do not sell more than 100 liters of wine to an end consumer in an individual case are exempt from the reporting obligation.

Companies not previously included in the vineyard register (new entries) that produce wine and grape must for sale are also subject to the obligation to declare.

The incorrect, incomplete or untimely submission of this declaration is an administrative offense within the meaning of Section 19 (1) No. 1 of the Hessian Implementation Ordinance on Wine Law and Phylloxera Control of December 2, 2010 (GVBl. I p. 460), as amended.
Companies that have not submitted their notification on time are excluded from parts of the support measures (investment support) in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 1308/2013 and its implementing provisions or must expect reductions in subsidies.
