Study Notes
- There are two categories of wines: with and without geographical indication.
- Wines with geographical indication can be AOC or IGP, while others are labeled Vins de France.
- AOC certifies that a wine is made in a specific geographical area while respecting the region's know-how and characteristics.
- AOC has strict regulations that must be followed, including the use of authorized grape varieties and specific winemaking methods.
- AOP is the European equivalent of AOC.
- IGP is less strict than AOC, allowing for more flexibility in grape varieties and geographical area.
- Vin de France has no geographical indication, offering the most flexibility for winemakers.
- Some winemakers choose to make their wines as Vin de France to have more freedom in creating their blends.
- The label does not determine the quality of the wine, as there can be variations in quality within the same AOC.
- The INAO is responsible for creating the regulations for AOC and AOP.
