What changed and who it applies to
What changed
The National Wine Institute (INV) approves a Regulatory Digest that unifies the regulation of wine production, industrialization, circulation and marketing and repeals the bulk of the previous wine rules (reported: ~973 resolutions; the detail is in an Annex II not transcribed in the Official Gazette notice). The agency stops overseeing harvest, elaboration and transport and moves to a scheme of sworn statement, digital mechanisms and risk-based subsequent oversight, essentially controlling the bottled final product. Reported: it eliminates ~140,000 annual transit permits and intermediate inspections; origin/vintage certifications become optional. It has been in force since 1/1/2026, but it is partially halted by the Federal Courts — Federal Court No. 2 of Mendoza (Judge Pablo Oscar Quirós), Dec-2025, granted a 5-month injunction (2026 harvest) that restored the mandatory nature of the Grape Entry Certificate (CIU), after an injunction request by the growers (UVA, AVM, ACOVI). The bulk of the deregulatory scheme was not suspended; only the CIU was reinstated. verif Nov 7, 2025 ↗
In force
In force from January 1, 2026 (entry into force set in the resolution itself). Published in the Official Gazette on 11/7/2025. The December 2025 injunction did not suspend the general entry into force: it only reinstated the mandatory nature of the CIU for 5 months (2026 harvest). verif Jan 1, 2026 ↗
Who it applies to
The entire national wine chain: the digest applies nationwide to the production, making, bottling, transport, marketing, export and import of wine verif. It benefits those who produce and make wine by lowering compliance costs: fewer transit permits, fewer intermediate inspections and digital procedures thesis. In December 2025, an injunction from Federal Court 2 of Mendoza requested by grape growers reinstated for five months the mandatory Grape Entry Certificate (CIU) prob. The activity is concentrated in Mendoza and San Juan, with presence in La Rioja, Salta, Neuquén and Río Negro. prob Nov 7, 2025 ↗

Resolución INV 37/2025 (RESOL-2025-37-APN-INV#MEC), signed by INV president Carlos Raúl Tizio Mayer on Nov 6, 2025 in Mendoza, published in the Boletín Oficial on Nov 7, 2025 (notice 334163). An act of a national agency (INV, the national wine authority, under the Ministry of Economy), framed within the deregulation agenda of DNU 70/2023. verif Nov 6, 2025 ↗
Our reading
The INV stops auditing the whole wine chain and controls the final product: fewer transit permits, fewer inspections and digital sworn-statement procedures lower the compliance cost of wineries and producers (R4: less regulation cheapens producing and opens the market to new players). It is a textbook case of the regulatory chainsaw. What qualifies it —and is worth facing head-on— is a Mendoza Federal Court ruling that, for the 2026 harvest, restored the Grape Entry Certificate to protect the producer against the winery: the deregulatory course stands firm, but the traceability that defends the weakest link won its judicial exception. thesis

Where it lands, province by province1
San Juan Food and beverages, which includes wine, is 7.21% of San Juan's provincial GDP: the third private sector behind mining and retail. The wine regulator's new code removes transit permits and intermediate inspections and controls the finished product, and that lowers the fixed compliance cost, which is the one that weighs most on the small producer. The injunction reinstating the grape intake certificate runs the other way: it gives the grower back its evidence against the winery. mixed opening and deregulation thesis
