Vietnam has issued a new national technical regulation for alcoholic beverages that shifts the responsible authority to MOIT and expands the scope to include quality, food safety, management requirements, and exporters.
The regulation also adds or refines product classifications and technical limits, including new categories such as fortified wine, aromatised wine, and white spirits, with specific methanol limits and updated contaminant, additive, sampling, and testing references.
On July 4, 2026, Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Circular No. 39/2026/TT-BCT, promulgating the new National Technical Regulation for Alcoholic Beverages, coded QCVN 30:2026/BCT. The Circular will take effect on January 1, 2027, updating the regulatory framework previously set out in QCVN 6-3:2010/BYT, which was issued by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in 2010 and took effect in 2011.
