Reading labels: ABV and what else to check

Alcohol labels in Australia carry legal requirements, but a few fields help you compare products quickly: ABV, volume, allergen statements, and country of origin.

For flavoured spirits, check whether sweetness comes from the base spirit or added ingredients—especially if you are watching sugar in mixed drinks.

When in doubt, ask us. Eckie’s team can translate jargon into plain language so you buy with confidence.
