Identification

  1. Add a SKU or UPC, if applicable.
    • A SKU is required if you are using a fulfillment facility or API partner. The SKU must match exactly in your Vinoshipper to any other connected platform. 
    • A UPC will allow you to scan barcodes using the POS app. 13-digit barcodes as expected, zeros will be added to the beginning of the barcode to ensure it is 13 digits.
  2. Add the TTB COLA Label ID number.
    • Any product with an ABV under 7.0% does not need a COLA.
    • Any product with an ABV 7.0% and greater must have a COLA in order to be approved by our team. The COLA is a 14-digit number.
      Note: For more information regarding COLA ID numbers please visit here.

Label information

  1. Add the Alcohol by Volume, matching the label exactly.
  2. Choose the product's varietal. This list will change depending on the category and type in the top right corner of the form. If the varietal does not say exactly what you want, you can use the varietal label. This will display in place of the dropdown choice.
    Example: Select Pinot Gris/Grigio but you would like it to only say Pinot Gris, so this can be added to the Varietal Label field.
  3. Select the country, state/providence and appellation/origin. You can use the appellation label to change it to exactly what you want it to say. You may also choose to hide this from the listing all together.
    Example: Select "CA - Sonoma County - Dry Creek Valley" but add an appellation label of "Dry Creek Valley, CA". "Dry Creek Valley, CA" will display on the product listing.
