Wine regions in Denmark

We know wine regions such as Rioja, Bordeaux and Tuscany and classifications such as IGP, AOC and DOCG. In Denmark, we use 4 categories according to the EU’s classification system:

1. Wine (anonymous wine). Formerly referred to as “table wine”. It is wine that must not be labeled with grape variety or vintage or other expressions that indicate a special quality. A number of countries continue to use this designation (Table vin, Vin de table, Taffelwein, etc.). The corresponding designation in English is “Varietal wine”, and in French “Vin de Cepage”.
2. Wine that may be labeled with grape variety and/or vintage, but which is not covered by a protected designation (“varietal wine”).
3. Wine with a protected geographical indication (Protected Geographical Indication – PGI). The corresponding designation in English is “Protected Geographical Indication: PGI” and in French “Indication géographiques protégées: IGP”. Denmark has 4 wine regions.
4. Wine with a protected designation of origin (BOB). The corresponding designation in English is “Protected Designation of Origin: PDO” and in French “Appellation d’origine protégées: AOP”.
