EU countries back winemaker support plan, with 'low-alcohol' tweak

EU countries Thursday backed plans by Brussels to give winemakers a leg up -- with some tweaks, including reducing labelling requirements for exports and renaming "alcohol-light" products "low-alcohol". It also suggested that, to reduce producers' administrative burden, exported wines be exempted from a requirement to list ingredients and nutrition data on the label as per internal EU rules.
