Open E-Label

Open E-Label is an open-source solution for electronic labels on wine bottles that displays product, ingredient, allergy and nutritional information via QR codes. It targets compliance with EU wine- and food-labeling regulations and provides a multilingual, web-based label viewer for consumers.

Key Features

• QR-code driven electronic labels that present product, ingredient, allergy and nutritional information instead of (or alongside) paper labels
• Multilingual label content with localization support to present information in multiple EU languages
• Built to align with EU wine and food labeling regulations to help wineries streamline compliance
• ASP.NET Core backend with a JavaScript/HTML/CSS front-end and Docker-ready deployment artifacts
• Localization/workflow integration (project uses Lokalise for translations) and responsive web UI for mobile QR scanning
• Docker and docker-compose samples to simplify containerized deployment

Use Cases

• Wineries publishing regulatory and consumer-facing information (ingredients, allergens, nutritional data) accessible via QR on bottles
• Retailers or importers providing multilingual product details to shoppers without printing new labels
• Regulators or compliance teams validating label content and language coverage for EU market entry

Limitations and Considerations

• Project is focused on wine and EU labeling workflows; it is not a full inventory, POS or packaging-management system
• Relies on web access for label retrieval; offline or purely on-device label solutions are not provided
• Integrations (SSO, enterprise backends, or specialized hardware printing/NFC) are not the core scope and may require custom work

Open E-Label is a focused, open-source implementation for moving product labeling to QR-driven web pages with multilingual, regulation-aware content. It is suited for wineries and supply-chain participants seeking a standards-aligned, container-friendly solution for electronic wine labels.
