Appellation

An appellation is a name or title used to identify a specific product, particularly in the context of food and beverages, like wine or cheese. It indicates where the product comes from and is often linked to a particular region known for its distinct qualities. For example, "Champagne" refers to sparkling wine made in a specific area of France, using particular methods. Appellations help protect producers' rights and guarantee quality, ensuring consumers know what they are getting and that products represent a certain standard associated with their geographic origin.
