Did you know?... About Table Wine

The definition of table wine is one area where the Old World and American wines differ greatly. For European wines, it means that the grapes are sourced from outside the major wine producing areas, and generally indicates a lower quality product. In the US, any wine below 14% alcohol by volume is considered a table wine, so long as it is neither sparkling or fortified. It has come to mean everyday, drinkable wine, and people often associated it with low quality, but for American wines, this is often not the case.
