IMERO e-label.eu is an established EU e-label platform. Here is how Glasswise compares on brand design, data ownership, marketing QR codes, and switching.

IMERO's e-label.eu is an established e-label platform for wine. Both IMERO and Glasswise deliver fully EU-compliant e-labels with all required nutrition, ingredient, and allergen information. Compliance is the foundation for both. The difference is what each platform builds on top of that foundation.
Disclosure: This article is written by the Glasswise team. We encourage you to evaluate both platforms.
Both platforms deliver fully EU-compliant wine e-labels with the required nutrition, ingredient, and allergen data. IMERO is built for speed: fast setup, geolocation-based language display, and collective QR codes for price lists. Glasswise adds custom brand design, a central wine data hub you keep reusing, marketing redirects from the QR code, and a redirect guarantee if you ever switch. Choose IMERO if speed is the priority. Choose Glasswise if brand, data ownership, and marketing matter to you.
IMERO (e-label.eu) focuses on speed and simplicity. It gets your compliant e-labels created quickly, with geolocation-based language display in all EU languages, QR codes, and a full service where IMERO creates the e-labels for you.
Glasswise builds on the same compliance foundation and adds brand design and central data management. Your wine data lives in Glasswise and flows into branded e-labels, data sheets, and marketing QR destinations.
IMERO's standout is collective QR codes for price lists. You can create a single QR code that links to an entire price list rather than to individual wines, which is useful for restaurants and wine shops.
Glasswise's standout is “Scan with Glasswise”, which turns the mandatory QR code into a marketing channel. After viewing the e-label, customers can be sent on to your website, online shop, or a custom landing page.
IMERO provides functional e-labels with a standard layout, with the focus on correctness and compliance more than visual branding.
Glasswise offers full custom design: your colors, typography, imagery, and storytelling sections. Each winery's e-label is unique and matches its brand identity.
Your wine data belongs to you and stays centrally usable in Glasswise. Enter it once, and it flows into every e-label, data sheet, and marketing destination. Your printed QR code is built on GS1 Digital Link, a vendor-independent identifier that belongs to your product and stays platform-independent. The GS1 Conformant Resolver Standard (Release 1.2.0, ratified January 2026) states that the redirect target of a GS1 Digital Link can be updated at any time without reprinting the code on the product. If you ever leave Glasswise, we redirect your codes to your new destination rather than leaving you stranded.

Here is how it works:
