Fine wines to carry a health warning on binge-drinking
By Richard Ford, Home Correspondent and Adam Sage in Paris
THE world’s finest wines will be expected to carry health warnings as part of the Government’s drive to tackle alcohol abuse and binge drinking.
Ministers hope that the first new-style advice on alcohol consumption will start appearing on bottles of wine next year, even though negotiations continue about what will appear on the label. Officials at the Department of Health expect the whole industry to abide by a voluntary code on warnings that will appear even on grands crus from the great French vineyards.
A bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild will be expected to advise consumers to know their limit and provide guidance for seeking help, just as will the more affordable Le Piat d’Or, although cost probably rules out binge drinking among those partial to great clarets and burgundies.
The Government also began the first national alcohol awareness campaign today with a series of television and cinema advertisements.
Whitehall officials said that the initial focus for health warnings would be the big suppliers to supermarkets but they then expected it to extend to small foreign-based brewers of beer and fine wines imported from abroad. Under the plans a specific part of the label on the back of every bottle of wine will contain advice, including basic health information, units of alcohol and where a drinker can get advice and support.
Jeremy Beadles, chief executive of the Wine and Spirits Trade Association, said that proposals would put a considerable burden on small wine producers, particularly as the labels would have to be made for the British market.
He said that there was not a great deal of space on the back of labels because new EU rules would soon require the ingredients and nutritional value of alcoholic drinks to be displayed. In France labels will soon be carrying a logo of a pregnant woman with a cross through it as a way of warning of the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.
French vineyard owners greeted the campaign as a fresh attack on their trade. Hélène Lévêque, owner of Château de Chategrive in Bordeaux, denounced the move as ridiculous and said that the wine industry was “being massacred for the sake of a minority of alcoholics”.
She said: “I am totally against this attempt to over- protect people. It’s all going too far. The British have always been good wine drinkers. They are knowledgeable and they are happy to drink. I hope that is not going to change now.”

Fine wines to carry a health warning on binge-drinking
优质葡萄酒将贴上健康警告标签

THE world’s finest wines will be expected to carry health warnings as part of the Government’s drive to tackle alcohol abuse and binge drinking.
世界上最优质的葡萄酒也将要被贴上健康警告标签，此举是政府启动处理酗酒政策的一部分。
Ministers hope that the first new-style advice on alcohol consumption will start appearing on bottles of wine next year, even though negotiations continue about what will appear on the label. Officials at the Department of Health expect the whole industry to abide by a voluntary code on warnings that will appear even on grands crus from the great French vineyards.
政府官员希望这项针对酒精消费的新建议明年可以见诸瓶身，尽管以何种面貌出现还仍在探讨中。卫生部的官员期待整个酿酒业都能自愿遵守加上警告标签，即使是来自法国葡萄园的名酒也一样（grands crus可否这样理解）。
A bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild will be expected to advise consumers to know their limit and provide guidance for seeking help, just as will the more affordable Le Piat d’Or, although cost probably rules out binge drinking among those partial to great clarets and burgundies.
Château Lafite-Rothschild也要和较之便宜的Le Piat d’Or一样，瓶身上提醒消费者知道他们的酒量，并指导他们如何寻求帮助，尽管其高价排除了嗜好红葡萄酒和勃艮第(法国地名)葡萄酒
的人暴饮的可能。
The Government also began the first national alcohol awareness campaign today with a series of television and cinema advertisements.
今天，政府还通过一系列电视、电影广告开始了首次全国性饮酒知识教育活动。
Whitehall officials said that the initial focus for health warnings would be the big suppliers to supermarkets but they then expected it to extend to small foreign-based brewers of beer and fine wines imported from abroad. Under the plans a specific part of the label on the back of every bottle of wine will contain advice, including basic health information, units of alcohol and where a drinker can get advice and support.
