After seven years of lobbying by health ministers, soon every bottle of alcohol in Australia will carry a label warning pregnant women of the dangers of drinking while pregnant.
Since 2011, alcohol companies have had a window to introduce the warning labels on their own but Australian and New Zealand ministers came to an agreement to have mandatory labels put on bottles.
At the moment, 75 per cent of bottles feature the warning tags but soon it will mandatory for all alcohol bottles.
The warning labels must contain a pictogram and warning statement developed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
