Vin de Pays

Vin de Pays is a French wine classification that indicates wines from specific regional areas with recognized qualities. It stands between basic table wines and higher-tier classifications like AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée). Vin de Pays offers producers more flexibility in grape varieties and winemaking techniques, allowing for innovation while maintaining regional identity. It provides consumers with wines that are often affordable, reliable, and representative of their local terroir. Essentially, Vin de Pays signifies a regional European wine that balances quality, authenticity, and accessibility.
