IMERO's e-label.eu is one of the largest e-label platforms in Europe, used by thousands of wineries. Both IMERO and Glasswise deliver fully EU-compliant e-labels with all required nutritional, 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.

Approach

IMERO (e-label.eu) focuses on speed and simplicity. It gets your compliant e-labels created quickly with geolocation-based language display, dynamic QR codes, and a complete service where IMERO creates your e-labels for you.

Glasswise builds on the same compliance foundation but 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.

Unique features

IMERO's standout: Collective QR codes for price lists. You can create a single QR code that links to an entire price list rather than individual wines. This is useful for restaurants and wine shops.

Glasswise's standout: "Scan with Glasswise" turns the mandatory QR code into a marketing tool. After viewing the e-label, customers can be redirected to your website, online shop, or a custom landing page.

Design

IMERO provides functional e-labels with a standard layout. The focus is on correctness and compliance rather than visual branding.

Glasswise offers full custom design: your colors, typography, imagery, and storytelling sections. Each winery's e-label is unique and matches their brand identity.
