Term (also everyday wine, consumption wine, drinking wine, tap wine) for a simple but faultless wine without special quality, which is usually intended for quick drinking pleasure. In former times, the term " Zechen " was used to describe a generally pronounced to excessive consumption of alcohol in company. There are, however, a large number of other names, none of which, however, have any significance in wine law. See also under mass wine, draught wine and bulk wine.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
