AU: Wowser health warning plan will deface our great wine labels

(Adelaidenow) - WINE bottles will have to carry large and graphic health warnings similar to cigarette packs if proposals from public health lobbyists get the go-ahead.
With the fight against tobacco well under way, health campaigners have switched their attention to the alcohol industry, demanding more confronting images and messages to be included on both front and back labels of all alcohol products.
The campaign, led by a range of vocal groups including National Alliance for Action Against Alcohol, the Alcohol Policy Coalition, Vic Health and the Cancer Council of Victoria has targeted a range of products from beer, spirits, mixers and wine in its aim to combat public health hazards resulting from risky drinking practices.
