Table wine is a wine term with two different meanings: a style of wine and a quality level within wine classification. In the United States, ''table wine'' primarily designates a wine style - ordinary wine which is neither fortified nor sparkling. In the European Union wine regulations, ''table wine'' (TW) is the lower of two overall quality categories, the higher of which is ''Quality Wines Produced in Specified Regions'' (QWPSR). All levels of national wine classification systems within the EU correspond to either TW or the QWPSR, although the terms that actually appear on wine labels are defined by national wine laws with the EU regulations as a framework. Most EU countries have a national classification called ''table wine'' in the country's official language. Examples include ''vin de table'' in France, ''vino da tavola'' in Italy, ''vino de mesa'' in Spain, ''vinho de mesa'' in Portugal, ''Tafelwein'' in Germany, ''επιτραπέζιος οίνος'' (''epitrapézios oínos'') in Greece. These classifications generally represent the lowest level of classification in their country. ==United States== The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and Code of Federal Regulations define table wine as grape wine having an alcoholic strength of maximum 14 percent alcohol by volume.〔(27 CFR Part 4: Labeling and Advertising of Wine ), § 4.21 The standards of identity〕 Wines between 14% and 24% ABV are known as dessert wine. Table wine may also be designated using terms such as light wine, light white wine, red table wine, or sweet table wine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Table wine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
