The Spanish wine classification standard
The Spanish wine was divided into 5 levels, by the Spanish national production control unit responsible for supervision INDO, in every region of the commission for the administration of local cap management.
The Spanish wine is divided into:

Italian wine classification standard
The output of Italian wine in the world first, but all over the world of one of the earliest wine country. However, the Italian although has the world's largest wine producer of the name, because the big capacity, a vast region, and the quality control is not perfect, once caused many inferior Italian wine in the international market is that the market once put Italian wine and inferior wine with an equal sign.
The Italy in the government from 1963 to to 1966 years for the implementation of the formal wine grading system, and after many perfect, form now of Italian wines grading system, to improve the quality of the Italian wine great influence.
Italian wine industry legal region level from low to high divided into four grades, it is respectively: wine (VDT), typical wine region (IGT), legal areas wine (DOC), ensure A.O.C. rank (DOCG).

German wine classification standard
Germany set in 1971 new grapes method, and the geographical always and quality wine always completely separate. German wine is based on picking grapes of maturity to differentiate wine level, this and most of the old world countries such as France, Italy, and Spain) according to the classification of the chateau and regions in a different way. Germany is not like the French system that way with all of its main legal designated wine production areas, areas according to the size and divided again.
Because most of the German wine cold and the grapes for wine quality influence maturity is very big. For high quality for wine, grapes maturity will mark in wine label, at present on the world only Germany and Austria wines in wine on mark have such information.
German wine is divided into four levels, from low to high are respectively, the wine daily (Tafelwein), the wine region (Landwein), the high quality wine region (WbA) senior high quality wine region (Qmp).
The wine daily, is the low level of wine, all kinds of production regulations at least, agree with VDT of France. The wine must be one hundred percent of daily in Germany, not foreign wine mixed with table against and with.
The wine region, is restricted by the national requirements designated region of 17 wine production with the bottle label districts, a French VDP.
High quality wine region, by 13 particular region production, the level of the wine must use the provisions made from grapes, grape must reach a certain degree of ripe, to ensure that can show the generating the form and traditional taste wine. Law can use "sugar add alcohol law" the wine made from.
Senior high quality wine region, absolutely forbidden artificial added sugar, depending on the grape mature degree, and further into different level 6, these properties must be marked in wine label. Germany is the top of the wine.

The United States wine classification standard
And France and other European countries from the law on wine level division different is, in the United States, this work is authoritative evaluation usually wine division or review wine magazine etc to finish. The unofficial rating, to judge the quality of the wine consumers also have very big effect. Many wine label attached on the teacher to give this wine wine evaluation the level or hit points, the choice for consumers to reference. The United States has many have international reputation professional evaluation of wine division, they rating from the American wine and strongly recommended, also make the United States wine got international recognition, and to promote the American wine reputation.
The United States is in reference on the basis of the concept of origin, according to its wine development reality, formulated the consistent with their own needs American wine producing area (AVA) system. AVA origin system, protect and standardizes the successful wine production.
AVA system is beginning in 1983 by the American alcohol, tobacco and weapons administration (BATF) began to carry out. Role of the wine producing area legal norms, AVA system and French "origin name control" system similar, but with the French differs is, it is mainly to the named the geographical location of regional scope and definition, unlike France in addition to define the geographic scope, but also with grape variety, planting, brewing, concrete requirements. AVA system of grape variety, planting, yield and brewing method was not limit, this is it and French AOC system the most fundamental difference. But, AVA system to protect the same origin wine the role of sales.
AVA system is mainly according to geographic and climate to differentiate wine, currently in the United States to determine the total BATF 145 AVA. AVA can range is small, can also be very large, from hundreds of ha to millions of hectares range. Some AVA tolerance in a large range of AVA in, for example, the famous napa valley AVA, including Mr G AVA, Nashville, howell AVA mountain, Suags Leap area AVA and rutherford-this strange AVA, etc, also includes some of the Norma county in the CarnerosAVA.
BATF provisions, in wine label marked one of the need to achieve named two requirements: a, 85% of the grape must come from the origin of the mark; Second, if is adjacent areas, each region of the amount of the grapes used to indicate the proportion of; Three, variety wine must be 75% indicate varieties grapes, namely varieties must be more than 75% purity.
A AVA can grow any grape variety, use any planting technology, and no grape yields limitations. If you want to increase in wine label information, must follow the basic rules of the accuracy. Standard single vineyard wine must be 95% of the wine from marked the grapes of thy vineyard. If use "Estate Bottled" (chateau bottles) the word, the garden and vineyards wine must be marked in the region in AVA, companies must have or control the vineyard. All And in wine bid harvest fixed number of year, is 95% of the grapes should be the year of the harvest. In addition, the state law will increase some requirements, such as California's wine must indicate the provisions of California is 100% of the California grapes. Oregon law marked the wine of Oregon any must be 100% marked the grapes grown).
In the United States BATF provisions on the grapevine limit parameter is not much, only strictly limited geographical area, the simple AOC than France. In a BATF before AVA system, American wine industry have strict standards, wine labels such as the content of labeling chaos. Responsible for the management of slashed BATF after more than two years of Mr, formulated in 1978 out of the system. After a few years of transition, came into force in 1983.
In fact, not through BATF AVA system behavior by the government to judge a grape wine quality. BATF named is a AVA just to will it different from surrounding areas. Therefore, AVA's not like France AOC, represents the highest level of wine classification.
