List of geographical designations for spirit drinks in the European Union

The geographical designations which may be applied to spirits are defined in Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks,[1] which repealed the earlier Regulation (EEC) 1576/89. From June 2019, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 have been replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/787,[2] with the remainder of the 2019 Regulations coming into force in May 2021.

Designations marked with an asterisk may be associated with qualifying phrases: see articles for more details.
