Aromatised wine

Aromatised wine (spelled aromatized in American English) is a wine flavoured with aromatic herbs and spices. These are classified by their alcohol content and the flavourings and other ingredients used. The European Union defines three categories[1] which are: 'aromatised wine', 'aromatised wine-based drink' and 'aromatised wine-product cocktail'.[2] Drinks which have an alcohol content of 1.2% abv or less, cannot be labelled as containing wine.
