Today’s Imperative for Engaging Internationally

Abridge is a comprehensive, interactive database with the latest regulatory norms and compliance information, as well as relevant international agreements, for alcohol beverages throughout 54 markets, representing 110+ countries around the world.

More so than ever in today’s uncertain global economy, Abridge has proven to be an invaluable resource for companies trading internationally – allowing companies to ensure compliance with regulations around the world easily and with confidence.

The Abridge database includes regulations for wine, distilled spirits, and other alcohol beverages such as ready-to-drink cocktails, wine coolers, and no/low alcohol beverages. Key categories include certification requirements, composition parameters, definitions, labelling rules, production norms, tariff rates, and federal taxation rates.

Throughout the course of 2026, they are launching the new category of packaging, which includes national regulations on packaging dimensions (such as over-flow or wrap/empty spaces) and packaging materials (such as food contact materials and glass requirements), as well as Extended Producer Responsibility (such as deposit container schemes).

Subscribers to Abridge also receive the weekly Abridge Report, designed to share current news events and to provide a “heads up” on the most significant alcohol regulatory developments ahead.
