In Rhineland-Palatinate, you submit the accompanying document for the wine transport online, by post or fax to the competent control authority at the place of loading. You create the accompanying document immediately before the wine transport, when the wine has been loaded onto the transport vehicle and the final number of liters of the transport has been determined.

The accompanying document refers only to this transport and cannot be used for other transports.

The electronic wine accompanying document procedure (eWeinBV) allows you to create the wine accompanying document online:

• Before the upcoming transport, you log in to the eWeinBV application with your user ID and prepare the electronic wine accompanying document.
• This will guide you step by step through the necessary information, which you can enter online.
• Finally, you confirm that all the information provided is correct.
• The accompanying document is created, receives a unique reference number and is unchangeable for you. The transport can begin.
• All parties involved (e.g. drivers, winery, commission agents) can now call up the electronic wine accompanying document online or receive it digitally.

Submit the accompanying document by post or fax:

• Fill out the 5-fold form legibly and completely.
• You give the original to the driver. You keep the remaining four copies.
• The driver hands the original to the recipient of the wine transport (e.g. the winery) at the destination.
• No later than one day after the start of transportation, you send two copies to the competent inspection authority at the place of loading by mail or fax.
• The two remaining copies are for your records.

You only need to create and send the accompanying document. The authorities will not process or issue a notification.

There is no deadline. The accompanying document is created immediately before transportation. A transport permit from an authority is not required.
