any changes to the composition of the product (vintage, variety or prescribed GI) that resulted through processing activities (such as blending or barrel topping).any changes to volume or quantity that occurred, including both gains and losses (including increases as a result of water being added to high sugar juice or must prior to fermentation).all vessels must be individually identifiable) tanks or barrels) that were involved in the processing step or movement (i.e. details of the steps or action taken and the date it occurred.Regardless of where you fit into the wine supply chain, if you process, move, or modify wine goods, you are required to make a written record within three days outlining: Read more about harvest record keeping and grape intake here. the identity of who you received the wine goods from (the individual or organisation’s name and address).the vintage, variety and prescribed GI of the wine goods you received.the type of wine goods and quantity of wine goods you received.When you’re receiving wine goods (such as a packaging facility receiving wine from a winery, or winery receiving grapes during vintage) your own record must be made within three days of receiving the goods and must identify: the vintage, variety and prescribed GI of the wine goods you’re supplying.the quantity of wine goods you’re supplying.the date you’re supplying the wine goods. When you’re supplying wine goods to another party (such as a grape grower supplying grapes to a winery, or a winery sending wine goods to another winery or a packaging facility), you need to provide an accompanying written record within three days of supply which includes at a minimum: LIP records must be kept for seven years. Records must be maintained in a form that allows a readily auditable trail to be established. This effectively involves recording ‘one step forward’ and ‘one step back’. To verify label claims, everyone in the wine supply chain must keep an auditable trail of documents indicating the vintage, grape variety and geographical indication of wine and wine goods that they grow, manufacture, supply or receive (regardless of whether they are acting as an agent). The LIP applies to wine goods which includes grapes, wine, and grape extract used or intended to be used in manufacturing wine. agents who take possession of wine goods.persons who supply or receive wine goods (including a person who sells the wine goods by wholesale or retail or export).manufacturers of wine goods, including wineries, packagers and processing facilities.This gives wine manufacturers flexibility in choosing a system that best suits their needs. The LIP does not prescribe how records are to be kept, only the information that must be recorded. The LIP imposes obligations on every party in the supply chain to make and keep records verifying vintage, variety and GI label claims made in relation to wine goods. However, if a claim is made, an auditable trail of records must be available to substantiate such claims so that the origin of a wine can be traced back to the vineyard. Vintage, variety and origin claims are not mandatory.
