What works in practice

  • Place the code on the flattest part of the label; steep curves break scanning.
  • Keep the design premium: a thin dark code on cream stock reads as considered, not cheap.
  • For EU compliance, link to a page with the required data and nothing marketing-led.

Common question

Does the EU require a QR on wine labels?

EU rules require ingredient and nutrition information to be accessible, and a code on the label is the common way producers provide it.
