THE LABELLING AND PACKAGING OF WINE 201 It may include the following optional particulars: (a) the vintage year; (b) the name of one or more wine grape varieties; (c) in the case of wines other than sparkling wine, aerated sparkling wine, quality, sparkling wine or quality aromatic sparkling wine, terms indicating the sugar content; (d) for wines with a PDO or PGI, traditional terms as the production or ageing method or the quality, colour, type of place, or a particular event linked to the history, of the product with a PDO or PGI; (e) the Community symbol indicating the PDO or PGI; (f) terms referring to certain production methods; and (g) for wines bearing a PDO or PGI, the name of another geographical unit that is smaller or larger than the area underlying the designation of origin or geographical indication. 2.4. The single visual field and the indelible characters “Visual field”34 can be defined as the entire area that can be seen when an eye is fixed straight at a point. Recital 18 of Regulation No 607/2009 provided that, in order to assist consumers, certain mandatory information had to be grouped in a single visual field on the container, i.e. within an area that can be seen by the consumer without turning the bottle. This same Regulation was also dealing with the way in which the consumer becomes aware of the information on the label: article 50 regulates the presentation of the compulsory particulars referred to in articles 58 and 59 of Regulation No 479/2008, which shall appear in the same field of vision on the container, in such a way as to be simultaneously readable without having to turn the container. 34 “Visual field”, or “field of vision”, is not to be confused with the term “field of view” which is typically only used in the sense of a restriction to what is visible by external apparatus, like when wearing spectacles or virtual reality goggles.
