The PinotQR alternative
EU-hosted e-labels, labels that stay live even if you leave, analytics on every plan, and a free transfer service if you are moving across.
PinotQR is an e-label tool from a company based in New Zealand, aimed at wineries selling into the EU. It is affordable and straightforward. Here is how Labls compares if you would prefer your data hosted in the EU and your labels to keep working on your terms.
Why wineries choose Labls
-
Hosted in the EU
- We are a UK-based team with all your data and e-labels hosted in the EU on 100% renewable energy. GDPR compliant and privacy-focused by design. PinotQR is based in New Zealand and does not state where data is hosted.

Your labels stay live
- You are never locked in with Labls. If you leave, we continue to honour your existing labels and can redirect them, so the QR codes on your bottles keep working. With PinotQR, cancelling reverts the account to its free plan, so only the oldest 3 e-labels stay active.

Compliant analytics on every plan
- See where and when your QR codes are scanned, with no personal data stored, on every Labls plan including the free one. With PinotQR, scan analytics are available on the paid plans only.

Mistoqsijiet frekwenti
- Why choose Labls over PinotQR?
- Labls hosts your data in the EU, includes compliant scan analytics on every plan, and keeps your labels live even if you stop paying, plus a free transfer service if you are moving across.
- What happens to my labels if I stop paying?
- With Labls there is no lock-in; we continue to honour your existing labels and can redirect them so the QR codes on your bottles keep working. With PinotQR, cancelling reverts the account to its free plan, so only the oldest 3 e-labels stay active and any beyond that are made inactive. This matters because EU e-labels must stay accessible while the product is on sale.
- Can I move my labels from PinotQR to Labls?
- Yes. Send us your existing labels and we will recreate them in Labls for free, then redirect your already-printed QR codes so nothing needs reprinting.
- Is my data hosted in the EU?
- Yes. We are a UK-based team and all data and e-labels are hosted in the EU on 100% renewable energy, fully GDPR compliant.
