If in containers 2-4 liters
Container size thresholds strictly separate subheadings within the same strength category.
If imported as grape must pre-fermentation
Unfermented grape must with alcohol addition falls under fresh fruit provisions before wine heading.
If ethyl alcohol content dominates over wine base
High-proof spirits blended minimally with wine classify as ethyl alcohol rather than fortified wine.
