The sales denomination of fruit spirit shall be ‘spirit’ preceded by the name of the fruit, berry or vegetable, such as: cherry spirit or kirsch, plum spirit or slivovitz, mirabelle, peach, apple, pear, apricot, fig, citrus or grape spirit or other fruit spirits. It may also be called wasser, with the name of the fruit. The name of the fruit may replace ‘spirit’ preceded by the name of the fruit, solely in the case of the following fruits: mirabelle (Prunus domestica L. subsp. syriaca (Borkh.) Janch. ex Mansf.), plum (Prunus domestica L.), quetsch (Prunus domestica L.), fruit of arbutus (Arbutus unedo L.), ‘Golden Delicious’ apple. Should there be a risk that the final consumer does not easily understand one of these sales denominations, the labelling shall include the word ‘spirit’, possibly supplemented by an explanation.
