TTB US Wine Label Requirements

We think we have a name for our winery and now we're looking at the regulations for the wine label. The BATF, or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, now is called Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and goes by the shortened, TTB. We purchased the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms, Parts 1 to 39, but the same information can be found online.
The wine labeling regulations from the TTB are designed to protect the consumer and there are no less than 10 categories which must appear on the wine label to meet the TTB criteria.
This is very good for the consumer but since we are the wine producer, it sure does make us envy the simplicity of the 18th century!
