Label Integrity Program
The LIP is legislated under Part VIA of the Act.
The object of the LIP is to help to ensure the truth, and the reputation for truthfulness, of statements made on wine labels, or made for commercial purposes, about the vintage, variety or the GI of wine manufactured in Australia.
The LIP imposes obligations on every party in the supply chain to make and keep records verifying vintage, variety and GI label claims made in relation to wine goods. The LIP does not prescribe how records are to be kept, only the information that must be recorded. This gives wine manufacturers flexibility in choosing a system that best suits their needs.
