Portuguese wine regions are grouped into three levels of classification. At the top are the ''Denominação de Origem Controlada'' (or DOCs) which are Quality Wines Produced in Specified Regions (QWpsr) under the European Union wine regulations and thus correspond roughly to the French ''Appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) and Spanish ''Denominación de Origen'' (DO) classifications. The second group consist of ''Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada'' (IPRs), and are also QWpsr. IPRs are used for DOC candidates "in training", and this level roughly corresponds to the French ''Vin Délimité de Qualité Superieure'' (VDQS) system. The final group are the Vinho Regional (VRs), which are table wines with a geographical indication under EU regulations. VRs each cover a larger area and are similar to the French ''Vin de pays'' at regional/departmental level.〔T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 329-333 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8〕〔(Official Journal of the European Union C 187/1, 8.8.2009: List of quality wines produced in specified regions ) (reflects situation as of July 31, 2009)〕 The early 2000s has seen many changes in the classification and naming of Portuguese wine regions. Many previous IPRs have been elevated to DOC status, either on their own or to create a new, larger DOC from either IPRs or a mixture or smaller DOCs and IPRs. At the same time, the name of some VRs have been modified to allow them to be differentiated from some newly created DOCs which have taken over names of former VRs. As of 2009, there were 26 DOCs for wine (not counting special designations and subregions), 4 IPRs and 11 VRs.〔(ViniPortugal: Wine Regions ), accessed on January 25, 2010〕 ==Denominação de Origem Controlada== *Alenquer DOC *Alentejo DOC, with the eight subregions Borba, Evora, Granja-Amareleja, Moura, Portalegre, Redondo, Reguengos, and Vidigueira. *Arruda DOC *Bairrada DOC *Beira Interior DOC, with the three subregions Castelo Rodrigo, Cova da Beira, and Pinhel. *Bucelas DOC *Carcavelos DOC *Colares DOC *Dão DOC, with the seven subregions Alva, Besteiros, Castendo, Serra da Estrela, Silgueiros, Terras de Azurara, and Terras de Senhorim, and the special designation Dão Nobre. *Douro DOC, with the three subregions Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo, and Douro Superior, and the special designation Moscatel do Douro. *Encostas d'Aire DOC, with the two subregions Alcobaça and Ourém. *Lagoa DOC *Lagos DOC *Madeira DOC *Madeirense DOC *Óbidos DOC *Palmela DOC *Porto DOC *Portimão DOC *Tejo DOC, with the six subregions Almeirim, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Coruche, Santarém, and Tomar.
