Korenwijn

Article 7h of the Dutch decree on reserved names allows "korenwijn" only for a spirit made with ethyl alcohol exclusively from grain, whose alcohol is at least 51 % moutwijn or moutwijn redistilled to up to 70 %. It may contain only natural flavourings, may be coloured only with caramel, may hold up to 20 g of sugar per litre, must be colourless, light yellow or light brown, and must have at least 38 % alcohol. The same decree defines moutwijn as a grain distillate distilled to 46–48 %, narrower than the 40–80 % range in the EU genever file. A 2023 amendment updated other articles to Regulation 2019/787 but left article 7h unchanged.
