WINE AND ADVERTISING IN SPANISH LEGISLATION 347  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/935 of 16 April 2019 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards analysis methods for determining the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of grapevine products and notifications of Member States decisions concerning increases in natural alcoholic strength 42 ; and  Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 of 17 October 2018 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards applications for protection of designations of origin, geographical indications and traditional terms in the wine sector, the objection procedure, restrictions of use, amendments to product specifications, cancellation of protection, and labelling and presentation 43 . II.4. Responsible Consumption of Wine: Wine in Moderation The Self-Regulation Code establishes guidelines for a moderate and responsible consumption of wine. In such a way, the communication that is made about the wine can include a very explicit message that indicates “Wine is only enjoyed in moderation”, accompanied by the logo that appears in Image 1 44 . However, are excluded some communication situations in which the message will not be required, for instance, messages freely prepared by the media based on press releases and those that will not apply to product labelling or advertising in which the presence of the winery is limited to disseminating its sponsorship of an activity. 42 DOUE L 149, 7 June 2019. 43 DOUE no. 9, 11 January 2019. 44 Source : https://www.vinetur.com/2016103128867/como-debe-realizarse-la-comunicacion-y- publicidad-del-vino.html ( Consulted 10 August 2020).
