What are the classifications of wine?
All the wines are classified in two specific categories :
- Wines with a geographical indication: the IG (wine with geographical indication). This category overlaps two sub-categories: AOC or AOP (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée or Appellation d'Origine Protégée) and IGP (Protected Geographical Indication).
- Wines that do not have a geographical indication: the SIG (wine without geographical indication). They are under the legislation of FranceAgriMer. They can then carry the notion of "Wine of France" or "Table wine".
