In order to meet new consumer demands and the need for product innovation, rules on the production and labelling of the aromatised wine product categories Glühwein, Viiniglögi/Vinglögg/Karštas vynas and Pelin should be amended to allow for them to be produced using rosé wine and for this to be indicated in the labelling. At the same time, the use of the term rosé in the presentation and labelling of Glühwein and Pelin produced by combining red and white wine or any of those with rosé wine should be prohibited. For the same reasons, it is also appropriate to allow alcoholic beverages produced with the same requirements as those laid down for Glühwein, but having as their main ingredient fruit wine rather than grapevine products, to use the sales denomination Glühwein in their presentation and labelling.
