2 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADINGS NOS 22.08 AND 22.09 , THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH IS TO BE TAKEN TO BE THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C .

" % VOL " IS THE SYMBOL FOR ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

ADDITIONAL NOTES

1 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADINGS NOS 22.04 , 22.05 AND 22.06 AND SUBHEADING 22.07 A :

( A ) " ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES OF PURE ALCOHOL CONTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C IN 100 VOLUMES OF THE PRODUCT AT THAT TEMPERATURE ;

( B ) " POTENTIAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES OF PURE ALCOHOL AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C CAPABLE OF BEING PRODUCED BY TOTAL FERMENTATION OF THE SUGARS CONTAINED IN 100 VOLUMES OF THE PRODUCT AT THAT TEMPERATURE ;

( C ) " TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE SUM OF THE ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTHS ;

( D ) " NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME " MEANS THE TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF A PRODUCT BEFORE ANY ENRICHMENT ;

( E ) " % VOL " IS THE SYMBOL FOR ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

2 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADING NO 22.04 , " GRAPE MUST IN FERMENTATION " MEANS THE PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE FERMENTATION OF GRAPE MUST , HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 1 % VOL AND LESS THAN THREE FIFTHS OF ITS TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME .

3 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF HEADING NO 22.05 :

A . " SPARKLING WINE " ( SUBHEADING 22.05 A ) MEANS A PRODUCT HAVING AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 8,5 % VOL , OBTAINED :

- OR FROM WINE AND RELEASING , WHEN THE CONTAINER IS OPENED , CARBON DIOXIDE DERIVED WHOLLY OR PARTLY FROM THE ADDITION OF THIS GAS ,

AND HAVING , WHEN KEPT AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C IN CLOSED CONTAINERS , AN EXCESS PRESSURE OF NOT LESS THAN THREE BAR .

B . " TOTAL DRY EXTRACT " MEANS THE CONTENT IN GRAMS PER LITRE OF ALL THE SUBSTANCES IN A PRODUCT WHICH , UNDER GIVEN PHYSICAL CONDITIONS , DO NOT VOLATILISE .

THE TOTAL DRY EXTRACT MUST BE DETERMINED WITH THE DENSIMETER AT 20 * C .

C . ( A ) THE PRESENCE IN THE PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN SUBHEADING 22.05 C OF THE QUANTITIES OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE INDICATED IN I , II , III AND IV BELOW DOES NOT AFFECT THEIR CLASSIFICATION :

I . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT MORE THAN 13 % VOL : 90 G OR LESS OF TOTAL EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

II . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 13 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 15 % VOL : 130 G OR LESS OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

III . PRODUCTS OF AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF MORE THAN 15 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 18 % VOL : 130 G OR LESS OF TOTAL DRY EXTRACT PER LITRE ;

( C ) LIQUEUR WINE , THAT IS TO SAY A PRODUCT :

- HAVING A TOTAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 17,5 % VOL AND AN ACTUAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF NOT LESS THAN 15 % VOL BUT NOT MORE THAN 22 % VOL , AND

- OBTAINED FROM GRAPE MUST OR WINE , WHICH MUST COME FROM VINE VARIETIES APPROVED IN THE THIRD COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIQUEUR WINE AND HAVE A MINIMUM NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF 12 % VOL .

- BY FREEZING , OR

- BY THE ADDITION DURING OR AFTER FERMENTATION

- OF A PRODUCT DERIVED FROM THE DISTILLATION OF WINE , OR

- OF CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUST OR , IN THE CASE OF CERTAIN QUALITY LIQUEUR WINES APPEARING ON A LIST TO BE ADOPTED OF WINES FOR WHICH SUCH PRACTICE IS TRADITIONAL , OF GRAPE MUST CONCENTRATED BY DIRECT HEAT , WHICH , APART FROM THIS OPERATION , CORRESPONDS TO THE DEFINITION OF CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUST , OR

- OF A MIXTURE OF THESE PRODUCTS .

HOWEVER , CERTAIN QUALITY LIQUEUR WINES APPEARING ON A LIST TO BE ADOPTED MAY BE OBTAINED FROM UNFERMENTED FRESH GRAPE MUST WHICH DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A MINIMUM NATURAL ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH BY VOLUME OF 12 % VOL .

5 . FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUBHEADING 22.07 A , THE EXPRESSION " PIQUETTE " MEANS THE PRODUCT OBTAINED BY THE FERMENTATION OF UNTREATED GRAPE MARC MACERATED IN WATER OR BY THE EXTRACTION OF FERMENTED GRAPE MARC WITH WATER .
