The Wine Law of 2001

The Wine Law of 2001 is a regulatory framework in Spain that standardizes wine classifications, labeling, and production standards across the country. It aims to protect traditional wine regions, ensure quality, and provide consumers with transparent information. The law establishes categories like “DO” (Denomination of Origin), “VC” (Vino de Calidad con Indicación Geográfica), and others, defining where and how wines are made. Overall, it seeks to promote high-quality Spanish wines, safeguard regional specialties, and support fair trade practices within the industry.
