Object of Part

"40A. The object of this Part is to regulate the sale, export and import of

wine:

(a) for the purpose of enabling Australia to fulfil its obligations under

prescribed wine-trading agreements; and

(b) for certain other purposes for which the Parliament has power to make

laws;

and this Part is to be interpreted and administered accordingly.

Additional operation of Part

"40B.(1) Without prejudice to its effect apart from this subsection, this

Part also has the effect that it would have if any reference to a person were

a reference to a corporation.

"(2) Without prejudice to its effect apart from this subsection, this Part

also has the effect that it would have if any reference to trade or commerce

were, by express provision, confined to trade or commerce:

(a) between Australia and places outside Australia; or

(b) among the States; or

"Division 2-Provisions relating to sale, export or import of wine

Sale, export or import of wine with a false description and

presentation

"40C.(1) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly sell wine with a

false description and presentation.

"(2) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly export wine with a

false description and presentation.

"(3) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly import wine with a

false description and presentation.

"(4) It is not a defence to a prosecution for an offence against subsection

(1), (2) or (3) that the description and presentation indicated the country,

region or locality, as the case may be, in which the wine originated.

Penalty: Imprisonment for 2 years.

Note: Subsection 4B(2) of the Crimes Act 1914 allows a court to impose an

appropriate fine instead of, or in addition to, a term of imprisonment. If,

as is the case for an offence against section 40C, the maximum term of

imprisonment is 2 years, the maximum fine that may be imposed is 120 penalty

units. The current value of a penalty unit is fixed by section 4AA of that

Act. If a body corporate is convicted of the offence, subsection 4B(3) of that

Act allows a court to impose a fine of an amount that is not greater than 5

times the maximum fine that could be imposed by the court on an individual

convicted of the same offence.

Meaning of "false description and presentation"

"40D.(1) This section has effect for the purposes of section 40C.

"(2) Subject to this section, the description and presentation of wine is

false if:

(a) it includes the name of a country, or any other indication that the wine

originated in a particular country, and the wine did not originate in that

country; or

(b) it includes a registered geographical indication and the wine did not

originate in a country, region or locality in relation to which the

geographical indication is registered; or

originate in a country, region or locality in relation to which the expression

is registered; or

(d) it includes a registered ancillary protected expression and the wine did

not originate in a country, region or locality in relation to which the

expression is registered.

"(3) Subsection (2) does not limit what, apart from that subsection, is a

false description and presentation of wine.

"(4) For the purposes of subsection (2), a registered geographical

indication, a registered traditional expression or a registered ancillary

protected expression is taken to be included in the description and

presentation of wine even if the indication or expression is accompanied by

another word or expression such as 'kind', 'type', 'style', 'imitation' or

'method', or any similar word or expression.

"(5) If:

(a) the description and presentation of wine includes a word or expression

that is a registered geographical indication, a registered traditional

expression, or a registered ancillary protected expression, in relation to a

country, region or locality; and

(b) the wine originated in that country, region or locality; and

that country, region or locality;

the description and presentation is not false merely because the word or

expression included in the description and presentation is also a registered

geographical indication, a registered traditional expression, or a registered

ancillary protected expression, in relation to another country, region or

locality.

"(6) The description and presentation of wine is not false merely because it

includes:

(a) the name of an individual who manufactured, sold, exported or imported

the wine; or

(b) if an individual who manufactured, sold, exported or imported the wine

lawfully carries on business under the name of another individual who

previously carried on the business-the name of that other individual; or

Sale, export or import of wine with a misleading description and presentation

"40E.(1) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly sell wine with a

misleading description and presentation.

"(2) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly export wine with a

misleading description and presentation.

"(3) A person must not, in trade or commerce, knowingly import wine with a

misleading description and presentation.

Penalty: Imprisonment for 2 years.

Note: Subsection 4B(2) of the Crimes Act 1914 allows a court to impose an

appropriate fine instead of, or in addition to, a term of imprisonment. If, as

is the case for an offence against section 40E, the maximum term of

imprisonment is 2 years, the maximum fine that may be imposed is 120 penalty

units. The current value of a penalty unit is fixed by section 4AA of that

Act. If a body corporate is convicted of the offence, subsection 4B(3) of that

Act allows a court to impose a fine of an amount that is not greater than 5

times the maximum fine that could be imposed by the court on an individual

convicted of the same offence.

Meaning of "misleading description and presentation"

"40F.(1) This section has effect for the purposes of section 40E.

"(2) Subject to subsection (7), the description and presentation of wine is

misleading if:

(a) it includes a registered geographical indication, a registered

traditional expression or a registered ancillary protected expression; and

(b) the indication or expression is used in such a way in the description

and presentation as to be likely to mislead as to the country, region or

locality in which the wine originated.

"(3) Subject to subsection (7), the description and presentation of wine is

misleading if:

(a) it includes a translation of a registered geographical indication, of a

registered traditional expression or of a registered ancillary protected

expression; and

(b) the inclusion of the translation is likely to mislead as to the country,

region or locality in which the wine originated.

"(4) Subject to subsection (7), the description and presentation of wine is

misleading if:

(a) it includes a word or expression that so resembles a registered

geographical indication, a registered traditional expression or a registered

ancillary protected expression as to be likely to be mistaken for the

registered geographical indication, the registered traditional expression or

the registered ancillary protected expression, as the case may be; and

(b) the wine did not originate in the country, region or locality in

relation to which the indication or expression is registered.

"(5) The description and presentation of wine is misleading if:

(a) it includes:

(i) the name of an individual who manufactured, sold, exported or

imported the wine; or

(ii) if an individual who manufactured, sold, exported or imported

the wine lawfully carried on business under the name of another individual who

previously carried on the business-the name of that other individual; or

(iii) the name or address of the winery at which the wine was

manufactured; and

(b) the name or address, as the case may be, is used in such a way in the

description and presentation as to be likely to mislead as to the country,

region or locality in which the wine originated.

"(6) Subsections (2), (3), (4) and (5) do not limit what, apart from those

subsections, is a misleading description and presentation of wine.

"(7) If:

(a) the description and presentation of wine includes a word or expression

that:

(i) is a registered geographical indication, a registered

traditional expression, or a registered ancillary protected expression, in

relation to a country, region or locality; or

(ii) is a translation of an indication or expression referred to in

subparagraph (i); or

(iii) resembles an indication or expression referred to in

subparagraph (i); and

(b) the wine originated in that country, region or locality; and

that country, region or locality; the description and presentation is not misleading merely because the indication or expression referred to in subparagraph (a)(i) is also registered

in relation to another country, region or locality.

Sale, export or import of wine in contravention of certain registered

conditions

"40G.(1) If any registered conditions are applicable to a registered

geographical indication, a registered traditional expression or a registered

ancillary protected expression, a person must not, in trade or commerce, sell,

export or import wine with a description and presentation that includes that

geographical indication, traditional expression or ancillary protected

expression and does not comply with those conditions if the person knows:

(a) that the wine is sold, exported or imported with that description and

presentation; and

(b) that the description and presentation does not comply with those

conditions.

"(2) If a variety or varieties of grapes are included in the Register, a

person must not, in trade or commerce, sell or export wine manufactured in

Australia if the person knows that the wine is not manufactured exclusively

from grapes of that variety or one or more of those varieties.

"(3) If:

(a) a variety of grapes is included in the Register; and

(b) any registered conditions are applicable to the description and

presentation of wine manufactured from, or from grapes that include, that

variety of grapes;

a person must not, in trade or commerce, sell or export wine that is

manufactured in Australia from, or from grapes that include, that variety of

grapes and the description and presentation of which does not comply with

those conditions if the person knows:

include, that variety of grapes; and

(d) that the wine is sold or exported with that description and

presentation; and

(e) that the description and presentation does not comply with those

conditions.

"(4) For the purposes of establishing a contravention of subsection (1), (2)

or (3), if, having regard to:

(a) a person's abilities, experience, qualifications and other attributes;

and

(b) all the circumstances surrounding the alleged contravention of that

subsection;

the person ought reasonably to have known a particular matter referred to in

that subsection, the person is taken to have known that matter.

Penalty: Imprisonment for 1 year.

Note: Subsection 4B(2) of the Crimes Act 1914 allows a court to impose an

appropriate fine instead of, or in addition to, a term of imprisonment. If,

as is the case for an offence against section 40G, the maximum term of

imprisonment is 1 year, the maximum fine that may be imposed is 60 penalty

units. The current value of a penalty unit is fixed by section 4AA of that

Act. If a body corporate is convicted of the offence, subsection 4B(3) of that

Act allows a court to impose a fine of an amount that is not greater than 5

times the maximum fine that could be imposed by the court on an individual

convicted of the same offence.

Blending requirements, oenological practices and processes and compositional

or other requirements

"40H.(1) If the regulations make provision for or in relation to blending

requirements applicable to the manufacture of wine, a person must not, in

trade or commerce, sell, export or import wine to which those blending

requirements are applicable if the person knows that the wine was not

manufactured in accordance with those requirements.

"(2) If the regulations make provision for or in relation to oenological

practices or processes, or compositional or other requirements, applicable to

the manufacture of wine in Australia, a person must not, in trade or commerce,

knowingly export wine to which those practices or processes, or those

compositional or other requirements, are applicable if the person knows that

the wine was not manufactured in accordance with those practices or processes,

or those compositional or other requirements, as the case may be.

"(3) For the purposes of establishing a contravention of subsection (1) or

(2), if, having regard to:

(a) a person's abilities, experience, qualifications and other attributes;

and

(b) all the circumstances surrounding the alleged contravention of that

subsection;

the person ought reasonably to have known a particular matter referred to in

that subsection, the person is taken to have known that matter.

Penalty: Imprisonment for 2 years.

Note: Subsection 4B(2) of the Crimes Act 1914 allows a court to impose an

appropriate fine instead of, or in addition to, a term of imprisonment. If,

as is the case for an offence against section 40H, the maximum term of

imprisonment is 2 years, the maximum fine that may be imposed is 120 penalty

units. The current value of a penalty unit is fixed by section 4AA of that

Act. If a body corporate is convicted of the offence, subsection 4B(3) of that

Act allows a court to impose a fine of an amount that is not greater than 5

times the maximum fine that could be imposed by the court on an individual

convicted of the same offence.

application for an injunction.

"(5) The Court may discharge or vary an injunction granted under this

section.

"(6) The power of the Court to grant an injunction restraining a person from

again, or to continue to engage, in conduct of that kind; and

(b) whether or not the person has previously engaged in conduct of that

kind.
