🍷 Table wine

Table wine is a simple everyday wine whose label does not name a precise place of origin. In older European quality systems it was the lowest level: vin de table in France, vino da tavola in Italy, Tafelwein in Germany.

In the European Union this category is now officially just "wine", or wine without a geographical indication. Whether grape and vintage may appear on the label depends on national rules. The strength is usually 9–15 percent alcohol.

Close ideas are vin de France, house wine, boxed wine and ordinary wine. All of them are made for the everyday table, not for a collection. But "table" does not mean "bad": under old classifications some interesting wines landed here when the winemaker did not want to follow strict naming rules.

Table wine belongs to the general section on types of wine.
