  <title><![CDATA[  Proposed Revision of American Viticultural Area Regulations  (2006R-325P)]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-20-E7-22717</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposes to 
amend its regulations concerning the establishment of American 
viticultural areas (AVAs). The proposed changes address the effect that 
the approval of an AVA may have on established brand names. In 
addition, the proposed changes provide clearer regulatory standards for 
the establishment of AVAs within AVAs. The proposed amendments also 
clarify the rules for preparing, submitting, and processing 
viticultural area petitions. Finally, we propose to add to the 
regulations statements regarding the viticultural significance of 
established viticultural area names, or key portions of those names, 
for wine labeling purposes.

  <description><![CDATA[ On March 31, 2005, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 
Bureau published a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish the 
Calistoga viticultural area in Napa County, California. In light of 
comments regarding the potential adverse impact on established brand 
names that we received in response to that prior notice, we issue this 
new notice of proposed rulemaking to seek comments on our proposal to 
provide ``grandfather'' protection for certain brand names used on 
existing certificates of label approval, provided those labels also 
carry information that would dispel an impression that the wine meets 
the requirements for using the viticultural area name. We designate 
viticultural areas to allow vintners to better describe the origin of 
their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may 
purchase.
