Products to which, for instance, distilled alcohol, water and other substances (such as syrup, various aromas and colourings, and, in some cases, a cream base) have been added, might have changed their characteristics. When those additions result in losing the taste, smell and/or appearance of a beverage produced from a particular fruit or natural product, that is to say a fermented beverage of heading 2206, those products are to be classified under heading 2208 (see, to that effect, for example the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-150/08 (1) and in Joined Cases C-532/14 and C-533/14 (2)). ◄
