Denomination

After the Latin "denominatio" this means "(closer) name or designation" and corresponds to the French appellation. However, this is rarely used in German usage for a geographically defined origin. In Portugal, this term is very common as a "denominación" for wine-growing regions; see under DOC.

Sigi Hiss

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
