Last updated: April 2026 dataVermouth and other grape-based wines flavored with botanicals, herbs, or aromatic substances represent a specialized segment of the fortified and aromatized wine market, used both as cocktail ingredients and as aperitifs. TTB regulates these products as wine under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, requiring certificate of label approval (COLA) before commercial sale in the US. The botanical formulation—which can include wormwood, quinine, or dozens of other plant extracts—must comply with FDA ingredient standards as well. European producers, particularly from Italy and France, have historically dominated this category, making origin documentation and EU geographic indication compliance relevant for label accuracy.

Importers must obtain a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) from TTB for each vermouth product before it enters US commerce. The label must accurately reflect the wine's origin, alcohol content, and any geographic indication claims. State-level licensing requirements for alcohol importers and distributors apply separately.
Under TTB standards, vermouth must be a grape wine flavored with aromatic substances; the base must be wine of fresh grapes. Products using other fermented bases or synthetic flavoring without a grape wine foundation would not qualify for the vermouth designation and would be classified differently. Producers should confirm TTB's standards of identity before labeling.
