New wine designation (wine from France) for the lowest French wine quality level valid since August 2009 due to the EU wine market regulation. It replaces the former designation Vin de Table (table wine). There are wines without and with indication of the grape varieties and/or vintage. The competent authority for these wines is not the INAO, but the Anivin de France association. See also Quality System and France.

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
