DOC

Abbreviation of earlier designations of several wine-growing countries for "origin-controlled quality wine from specified regions". They were replaced by DOP with the EU wine market organisation valid from 2009. However, the old, traditional designations are still permitted in some countries. See under quality system.

  • Argentina: Denominación de Origen Controlada
  • Italy: Denominazione di Origine Controllata - an even higher level is DOCG
  • Malta: Denominazzjoni ta' Oriġini Controllata (DOK)
  • Portugal: Denominação de Origem Controlada
  • Romania: Vin cu Denumire de Origine Controlata
