The best e-label alternatives for wineries in 2026
A winery looking for an electronic label in 2026 does not find a single price. It finds quotas, named plans, three records at €0, and an unlimited plan at more than a thousand. This page sorts what we have read on the public tariffs in November 2026. Third-party figures are excluding VAT and can change. We put Vinoveo’s as we publish it: €50 a year plus VAT, unlimited dynamic QR codes, 24 EU languages, support in Spanish and on WhatsApp, and migration at no charge if the QR is dynamic and can be redirected. A static QR is reprinted.
This is not a quality ranking. It is a map, so that a generic generator is not mixed up with a sector platform, or a quota of five with an unlimited plan.
The short table
| Tool | Public price (Nov 2026) | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Vinoveo | €50/year + VAT | Unlimited |
| U-Label (Scantrust) | €230 (30), €360 (50), €500 (100), €1,500 unlimited | Quotas, CEEV standard |
| e-label.eu | €0 (3), €90 (5 new/year), €130 (15 new/year) | Quota of new records, 10-year retention |
| QRFox | from €90, Professional €349, cited unlimited €1,460 | Quotas |
| VinoEtiquetas | €195 (5), €295 (10), €550 (20) | Quotas, Spain |
| e-label QR | €149 and €199/year | Spain |
| Bottlebooks | ~€190 (10) up to ~€750 (100); 3 at no cost | Ladder, Germany |
| Glasswise | €99 Standard unlimited, €149 Pro | Unlimited, Austria |
| ME-QR | €0 with advertising; Premium 180.99 USD/year | Generic generator |
Each link leads to the long note: where the number comes from, when it makes sense to stay, and when it does not. None of them says the other breaks the law. Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 is met by the record, not by the slogan.
How to choose without reading eight contracts
If you have three wines and they are not going to be four, look at the €0 band of e-label.eu and at Bottlebooks’ three records at no cost. The zero can win. We say so in their notes, not only here.
If the catalogue moves or you export, the quota is the hidden cost. U-Label, QRFox, and VinoEtiquetas charge for growth. Glasswise and Vinoveo leave it out of the price, at €99 and at €50 plus VAT. They are not the same company or the same support. They are the same shape of tariff.
If the buyer asks you for U-Label by name, or if you want the QR under your own domain with a CNAME, the CEEV platform has a role the others do not have. €230 or €1,500 are then read as the cost of that role, not as an expensive generic e-label.
If the QR that tempts you is a generator with ads, read the ME-QR note before you print. The ingredients page cannot be an advertising medium or a form. A dynamic code, by contrast, can be redirected afterwards. That saves a run already made. It does not turn the advertisement into a legal record.
What we do
We are Vinoveo. €50 a year plus VAT. If you already have QR codes, we do not ask you to reprint blind. You send us a photo or a scan, we check whether the code is dynamic and, if it can be redirected, within 24 hours it points to your e-label. That check and that migration are not charged. They avoid a reprint only in that case. If the code is static, we say so and the next run carries the new QR. It is on the migration page.
Sign-in is app.vinoveo.com/login. The email is [email protected]. If a tariff in this table changes, the provider’s page prevails, not this summary from November 2026.
How to use this map without turning it into dogma
Go back to the provider’s page on the day you are going to pay. This table is from November 2026. A change of band, a tax included that we have read as a price excluding VAT, or an offer that only appears inside the customer area, we do not see from outside. That is why each figure carries a link to the note where the URL is. If the note and the site disagree, the site prevails.
The second reading is the QR you already have, not the one you are going to design. A dynamic one is redirected. A static one is reprinted. That difference is worth more than €40 of fee. We are Vinoveo and the check is not charged, whether the code is on U-Label, on a generic generator, or on a tool that is not in the table. Within 24 hours, if it can, it points to the new record. If it cannot, we do not dress it up.
The third reading is the language. A winery that only sells in Spain can live with a record in Spanish. As soon as the wine crosses the border, the languages of the market are needed. Our subscription includes the 24 official ones. On the others you have to ask, not assume. Support, the same: ours is in Spanish and on WhatsApp. We do not measure the others’ and we are not going to give it an invented score.
That is enough to rule things out. Three quiet wines can go to the €0 band. A live catalogue, to the simpler unlimited plan. A CEEV brand requirement, to U-Label even if it costs more. An advertisement on the ingredients page, out. The rest is detail in each note.
