Key Words :
1 AOC : short of "Appellation d'origine
contrôlée", which translates as "term of controlled origin" is the
French certification granted to certain French geographical indications
for wines, cheeses, butters, and other agricultural products, all under
the auspices of the government bureau Institut National des Appellations
d'Origine (INAO). The AOC certification guarantee a high quality of
product and distinguish a particular know-how in the complex way to
product wine.
2 VDP : short of "Vin de Pays", which
translates as "term of controlled origin" allowing producers to
distinguish higher quality wines that were not made with AOC classified
grapes. The wines have to come from a specific named place, the
producers have to submit the wine for analysis and tasting, and the
wines have to be made from certain varieties or blends although these
are typically more lenient in varietals scope than AOC restrictions.
Originally, Vin de Pays designation was commonly viewed as inferior to
an AOC Appellation, often being ascribed to thin and simple wines.
However, since the late 1980s, an increase in demand for varietals wines
has led some French producers and cooperatives to produce more Vin de
Pays.
