The U-label alternative
A simpler, better-value way to create your EU wine e-labels, with unlimited labels from €99 a year, a genuinely free plan, and a free transfer service if you are moving across.
U-label is the e-labelling product from Scantrust, a company based in Switzerland. It covers wine, aromatised wines and spirits, and it is a capable tool. Here is how Labls compares if you want a genuinely free plan, unlimited e-labels without a premium price, and every feature included.
