Ever hear of a federal tax stamp?

ATF has nothing to do with alcoholic bev label approvals.

Mission

Our mission is to collect Federal excise taxes on alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and ammunition and to assure compliance with Federal tobacco permitting and alcohol permitting, labeling, and marketing requirements to protect consumers.

TTB reviews more than 100,000 alcohol
labels, as well as advertisements, each
year to verify that they provide adequate
information to the consumer concerning
the identity and quality of each alcohol
beverage and to make certain that they
do not mislead consumers.
