WINE CATALOGThe French Appeal System (ie Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) is an international model for the laws that define and protect geographically named wines, fierce drinks and even certain dishes. For each wine separate wine, the AOC laws determine, inter alia, the exact area where grapes are being overcome to obtain concrete wine, acceptable grape varieties, permitted yields per hectare, and aspects of viticulture – such as slicing and irrigation, The percentage of alcohol and methods: how wine is produced and how much is stored. For a given French wine to receive an appeal, it must meet all the criteria set out in the AOC laws. The Appeal System and its laws, which began to apply the ’30s of the 20th century, developed over time. Today, most European wine -producing countries have similar systems that define and regulate the blame they produce.
