This is the official (lowest) category of most national wine classification systems based on quality and place of origin. The grapes for table wine can be grown in one country, but the wine itself is made in another. Labels with such wine will contain the word “table” in the appropriate language:

• France Vin de table
• Italy Vino da tavola
• Spain Vino de mesa
• Germany Tafelwein
• USA Table wine
• Greece Επιτραπεζιου οίνου
• Montenegro Stolno vino
• Bulgaria Refectory wine (not a table, just a meal)

Inscription: "Made in France. Table wine." Where the grapes come from is unknown.

If a country is indicated on the label of table wine, then the country of origin of the raw materials and the production of the wine coincide:

Caption: "French table wine." This means that it was made in France and the grapes are also from France.

With the advent of the common European wine classification in 2010, the category "wine without geographical indication", identical to the category " table wine» according to the level of the drink, but has some differences in the design of the labels.

Differences between the pan-European category and national “table wines”:

• There is no word "table" on the label, only the name of the country of origin.
• It is not possible to determine the country of origin of raw materials.
• It is acceptable to indicate the grape variety and harvest year (which is prohibited for French table wines).

What makes table wines different?

Table wines and the mentioned new pan-European category are distinguished by a simple bouquet, low cost and minimal quality control: the only thing that is monitored is that this wine is made only from grapes and that it is safe for health. There are no requirements for taste characteristics, varietal composition and consistency of parameters (strength, acidity, sweetness, etc.) for such wines.

This doesn't mean that table wine can't be delicious or even worth buying a whole case of. This means that you will never know from the label what to expect from the contents of the bottle. This distinguishes the table category from wines controlled by place of origin and produced according to the rules of the so-called

Table wine is an alcoholic drink that received its name due to its daily presence on the tables of residents of wine-growing regions. Drinking this drink brings not only pleasure, but also health benefits. It has a delicious taste and intoxicating aroma.

Red wine is best made from wine varieties grapes

Types of drink

Table wine is obtained as a result of fermentation of wort or pulp. It is also called natural wine, since to obtain it, apart from the necessary components, nothing extra is added (alcohol, sugar). Depending on the production technology chosen, wine is divided into dry, semi-sweet and semi-dry. The first is obtained as a result of complete fermentation of wine materials, and the latter 2 are obtained through partial fermentation.

Different wines tend to contain a certain amount of sugar. In semi-sweet, the amount of sugar varies from 3 to 8 g per 100 cm 3, in semi-dry - from 1 to 2.5 g, and dry wine contains no more than 0.3 g of sugar. Semi-sweet and semi-dry wines are valued for their moderate alcohol content, variety of flavors, mild aroma, correct acidity. Some of the most worthy semi-sweet wines in the world are:

Wine fermentation occurs when air enters the bottle freely.

• Auslese;
• Barzak;
• Chateau-Yquem;
• Ojaleshi;
• Khvanchkara;
• Spätlese.

Dry, semi-dry and semi-sweet wines are aged in barrels for different periods time. Drinks aged for one year are ordinary. They can be bottled and sold. If the wine is aged for another 1-2 years, then it is already considered vintage. When pouring it into containers, be sure to indicate the year of harvest. A wine that has been aged for many years is considered a collector's item. Over the years, the bottled drink acquires a special refined taste, sediment appears at the bottom, which helps eliminate toxins.

The drink can be varietal, if 1 grape variety was used for its production, or blended, that is, made from different varieties that form harmonious combination. Table wine comes in white, red and rose. The latter is distinguished by its color and taste characteristics.

The health benefits include improving digestion and stabilizing the acid balance in the human body. Drink consumption in small portions helps enrich the body with essential minerals and acids.

Characteristics of table drinks

Many people do not understand table wines, so they find it difficult to make a choice when purchasing. However, due to their taste characteristics the wines fit perfectly different dishes. The taste, aroma, color of the drink, and strength are determined not only by technology, but also by the grape variety, the characteristics of its cultivation, ripening time and other factors. White and rose wines are more similar in taste, since they are characterized by an identical degree of ripeness of the fruit. They have a fresh, sophisticated aroma and a light aftertaste. The alcohol content ranges from 10 to 12%, while red table wines have an alcohol content of 11-13%.

Dry white wines are distinguished by their diversity. Their taste varies from easy simple to a rich, unfolding bouquet with a refined aftertaste. They are young and seasoned. For change taste characteristics It affects not only the process of obtaining the drink, but also the area in which the grapes were grown, namely its climatic conditions and lighting. The degree of ripeness and grape variety can give the drink special muscat notes in taste, give a slight sourish tint and a delicate aroma.

For high-quality white wine, a rough taste is unacceptable. An ordinary drink has a varietal or velvety, floral aroma. By taste sensations it is delicate with a barely noticeable sour undertone. If the drink is vintage, then it is characterized by an ethereal tone of aging and a pleasant aftertaste. Correct color This drink is yellow-straw or yellow-green.

Red and pink

Grapes must be pitted.

Red table wine is considered very healthy. Unlike other wines, it contains a lot necessary for the body microelements and vitamins that give strength and health. The production of red table wine involves the use of only red grape varieties. The astringency and rich aroma of the drink are given by substances contained in the skin, seeds and ridges.

Over the years, the drink becomes very pleasant, more light aroma, refined and refined flavor bouquet. Aging softens the astringency and bitterness that is inherent in the young drink. High-quality aged red wines have a characteristic onion or brown color. If the drink is young, then its color has shades of dark ruby ​​or garnet.

White wines can be made not only from white grape varieties (Aligote, Sauvignon, Chardonnay), but also from red ones. The main thing is to use only grape juice without skin, seeds or ridges. Since the juice is almost colorless, the drink will have the correct shade. The white grape varieties used for production are grown in areas with a warm temperate climate, where the air temperature in the hot months ranges from 18 to 27 °C. This will make the wine good. The provinces of France, some regions of Austria, Italy, Moldova, Ukraine, and Hungary are perfect for growing.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Saperavi are the best varieties for the production of dry red wine. They are grown in warm temperate climates with an average temperature of 20°C. During fruit ripening, the weather should be dry. The standards for rosé wine are French drinks such as rosé Bordeaux, Bordeaux Clairette and Burgundy rosé. They were first produced in France by infusing wine material for 6-24 hours. The color of rose wine can be different: light pink, light red, orange-yellowish, pale ruby ​​with a slight creamy tint. A drink with a bright pink or raspberry tone is considered valuable.

Rose wine can be received different ways. For example, by blending using a special technology or short-term fermentation of red grape varieties, or according to the principle of making red wine, but from incompletely ripened fruits.

Alcohol division into various categories– this is a necessity, thanks to which the consumer can determine the quality of the drink from the label. For example, when choosing, it is very important to know how table wine differs from geographical wine, whether there are differences in taste or quality between them, etc.

Of course, there are other varieties of this alcoholic drink, and its classification is different countries may differ slightly.

What is table wine

The first thing you need to understand is what kind of drink in the world of winemakers is meant by table wine. This is a light drink that has a low strength due to the small amount of sugar in its composition. It is usually served with meals, because this wine goes well with main dishes.

Traditionally in most wine countries table wines are divided into:

• dry;
• semi-dry;
• semi-sweet.

Another difference between table wine and regular wine is less control over the grapes for their production. Those. Any berries can be used to make wine, and the bottle label usually does not indicate where they were grown, in which country or territory. The year of wine production is also not indicated.

But this does not mean at all that alcoholic drinks this category is of low quality. The manufacturer himself monitors his products, namely the taste of alcohol. Therefore, some table wines are quite expensive.

Dessert wine

What is the difference between table wine and dessert wine? Basically, alcoholic drinks in this category are served with desserts (as you might guess from the name). For example, they go well with ice cream, cakes or fruit. The only condition for such serving is that the dessert should not be sweeter than the wine itself, otherwise the latter will just be compote.

Dessert wines have a higher percentage of alcohol, which is formed due to the way the drink is prepared. After all, in order to achieve a certain sweetness of wine, it is necessary to stop the fermentation of the wort. This is done in different ways, one of them is adding strong alcohol to it.

Also, for greater natural sweetness, special sugary grape varieties are used.

Dessert wine can be:

• sweet;
• semi-sweet;
• liqueur.

How to drink dessert and table wines

There is a difference in presentation between dessert and table wine. To reveal the bouquet of taste and aroma, it is advisable to warm up table wines before serving so that their temperature is slightly higher than room temperature. For dessert wines, cooling to 13-16 degrees is recommended.

Very important . Their special form allows you to correctly direct the drink to the area of ​​the tongue that most subtly senses its entire bouquet of aroma and taste. Gourmets believe that the wrong glass can distort the taste of the drink.

You can get lost in the existing diversity, because some wine producers have gone so far as to recommend glasses for a specific type of drink. Of course, the average consumer only needs to have a few types of glasses.

For example, glasses in the shape of a tulip or a ball are suitable for red wine, but more elongated ones for white wine. The largest glasses are used for red wine, slightly smaller glasses for white wine, and even smaller glasses for dessert wine.

The difference between table wine and a geographical name is that you can always find out from the label on the bottle in which area the grapes grew, in some cases they even indicate the year of harvest. Such wines are sometimes also called local.

It should be noted that most often alcoholic drinks in this category are produced from one grape variety, without mixing it with others. All this affects the taste of the wine.
But recently, some geographical wines are produced using a different technology, called sepazhnaya. Finished product doesn't lose bright taste, but still gourmets prefer drinks made from one grape variety.

Local wines are stored for a very long time, revealing their taste over time, giving new notes. That is why geographical wines are very often vintage and collectible. After all, most of them are produced using unique proprietary methods, which is why they attract the attention of collectors.

Collection and vintage wines

The most important thing is selected grapes during production, unique technologies and a long period of aging of the wine. Vintage wine is aged for at least one and a half years if it is a dry table wine, and at least two years if it is a strong dessert wine.

For each brand of this alcoholic drink, which may later become a vintage drink, a certain production technology has been established; a certain grape variety is used for it. All this must be recorded on the label.

Vintage wine can become a collector's item if, after bottling, it has been aged for at least three years. Among wine connoisseurs, the most popular drinks in this category are those that have been aged for at least ten years in bottles. You can determine the aging period by the sediment at the bottom of the bottle, which forms over the years.

The best preserved wines are those that have a high percentage of alcohol and sugar. But, for example, “half wines” are preserved very poorly, since the fermentation process in them is artificially stopped, but not by adding alcohol to the composition (as is the case with sweet wines).

Now it is very easy to understand how table wine differs from geographical wine in taste, aging and other characteristics. Choosing good wine, remember that the full taste of the drink can only be felt when making the right choice glasses and dishes for him. Gourmets consider it blasphemy to drink any high-quality wine in one gulp without experiencing its entire bouquet.

Table wine is often a dry type of alcohol used as an addition to a meal. The drink contains a small amount of sugar. It's easy to make a drink at home with my own hands. Remember that table wines are alcoholic drinks, so excessive consumption is not recommended, because... may harm your health.

What is table wine

Among the table varieties there are white, red and pink varieties produced in various countries. The color varies from light straw to black currant.

It is not customary to age the drink. The year of production is not indicated on the bottle.

This alcohol is served after first bringing it to a special temperature, slightly above room temperature. This action allows the taste and aromatic qualities of the drink to reveal themselves. The quality of such alcohol varies:

• collectible;
• vintage;
• ordinary.

It is not customary to add foreign impurities or sugar to these types of alcohol.

Answering the question about what a table drink is, it should be said that it is a drink for daily use. The strength of this alcohol is low, only about 9-14 degrees. The drink contains a small amount of Sahara; sweet concentration white product is only 0.3%. Most often these wines are dry, rarely semi-sweet or sweet. Any grape variety is used for their production. The drink is not fortified.

You can make similar alcohol at home.

What are the varieties?

Used for manufacturing various varieties grapes The product may be:

• red;
• pink;
• white.

The varieties produced in Georgia are considered to be of high quality. Kakheti and Imeretian wines compete with vintage French ones. Produced from Rkatsiteli, Saperavi and Mtsvane grapes.

The name is most often given by the name of the grape variety from which the alcohol was made, or by the area in which they were created. Compound names are rare.

Azerbaijani, French options, as well as alcohol produced in the North Caucasus. On bottles of French alcohol you can find a special inscription confirming that only grapes grown in France were used for production.

1. The first category includes wines with a protected designation of origin. Requirements apply not only to the area where raw materials are grown and production, but also to the grape varieties and technologies used by the manufacturer.
2. The second category includes drinks with protected geographical indication. Their producers can experiment with production technology and grow grapes of varieties other than those established for their territories. In this case, the raw materials must be grown in the specified area, and the production process must also take place there.
3. The third category includes canteens, sparkling wine. This also includes.

Local wines are stored for a long time, during which their taste changes and develops. They often become vintage and collectible.

What are the similarities and differences between table, dessert and geographical options?

The similarity between these options is that each of them includes white, red and pink varieties of varying degrees of sweetness.

To understand the difference between table wine and geographical wine, you should study the bottle. Geographical wine must be marked with a special inscription informing about the area in which the raw materials used for production were grown. In addition, it is most often produced from one grape variety, which is not mixed with others. Some options, however, are produced using sepazh technology, which involves proportional mixing various types raw materials.

Table wine differs from dessert wine in that the former should be served only with sweet dishes, as its name suggests. There are also differences in the temperature of the drink: table drinks are recommended to be heated several degrees above room temperature, and dessert drinks should be cooled to +13...+15° C.

It is customary to drink dessert types from small glasses - it is believed that their taste is revealed better this way, since the liquid, when sipped, reaches the area of ​​the tongue that most sensitively senses the peculiarities of taste. Table wines are usually drunk from larger glasses.

As they said in the old days, drinking is not a sin if it is for health and for the glory of God! It is difficult to imagine any feast or celebration without wine. In different parts of the world, various nationalities drink this drink and create new varieties. In many countries it is believed that drinking table wine at home is a whole ritual, with its own traditions and conventions. For several millennia, wine has been giving joy to people and “delighting hearts,” of course, if the drink is of high quality and consumed in moderation.

Wine Payments: This is the maximum administrative qualification granted to a winery. These are wines of prestigious prestige, originating from a “payment”, that is, a place or rural place with characteristics and its own microclimate that distinguish it and distinguish its surroundings. If the payment is in a qualified appellation of origin, it may be called a “qualified payment.” There are 14 wines in Spain.

Table wines are those that are not protected by any designation of origin, nor by its origin. It is often made with grapes from different wine regions. These wines are prohibited from displaying the following information on the label. Wine region provenance Year of harvest Grape variety. . We must not forget those who have a territorial reference, the so-called wine of the land, which is a geographical indication, for the tables.

Everyday wine for the table

As a rule, table wine is not aged; its purpose is everyday use. Table wines are distinguished by their sugar content: dry - up to one percent sugar content, semi-dry - from one to two and a half percent, and semi-sweet - from two and a half to seven. Many peoples drink table wine to simply quench their thirst, and do not look at any degrees or percentages. Some people think that this is harmful to health and that you should not replace water with wine. But it all depends on the quality of the wine and, naturally, the quantity drunk. Entire treatises have been written about the benefits of wine, and its merits are no longer in doubt.

Don't think that table wine, or herb wine as many connoisseurs call it, is of poor quality. But when you reach the supermarket or specialty store, you look at their labels and you don't know what it means. These guys have them at home and we usually accompany them with pizza, pasta, chicken or appetizers or with some dessert.

But the most important thing is that you cannot try new brands and that you are always ready to try new tastes and denominations. And then there is the denomination of origin, the most famous in Spain. Rioja Ribera del Duero Penedes Ribeiro. . Depending on where you live you may have different meanings, but generally this class is made from grapes with a maximum alcohol volume of 14%, but in Europe the rules are stricter.

Good quality table wine depends on the composition, and the composition depends on the type of wine. Europeans divide wines into sepage (or varietal) and blended wines. The difference is that varietals are made from one grape variety, while blends contain different varieties. All information about the wine is printed on the label, which is located with reverse side containers. When served, the wine must be at a certain temperature. Each variety has its own, because it is thanks to this that all the advantages can be revealed and the taste of the wine can be revealed.

But what you should know is to choose the right one. This is why it is very important to know how to buy any wine of these characteristics. Whether it's red or white, for many of us this variety is cheap, we pick it up at the store and because we are experts, because we don't even look at the type of grape where it is, but we know it's good for all types products.

Only you will be able to determine the quality, but it would not be fair for us to at least comment or give some secrets so that his selections are the best possible. And then, obviously, to determine what to take home, we consider price. There is now a wide range of very affordable ones that are below 5 euros.

Table wine varieties

Table wines are made from grapes huge amount varieties. Among the table wines there are white, red, and even rose. They differ from other types of wines in that they do not require long ripening and are prepared without adding any additional ingredients. Table grape wines contain very little sugar and are not fortified.

What we finally strive for is to drink that glass, on a Sunday afternoon or while we are making food, or we are looking for a moment of relaxation while enjoying a fine red wine. Tenga imagines that white, after a hard day's work, can be a real pleasure, and that, of course, this good wine is priceless.

But no matter your taste, you can find sweet wine from Spain. You can find in your supermarket the next time you visit the one that best suits your choice. We recommend trying softly and neutrally at first, gradually incorporating variety and discovering the one that best suits your taste.

The color of table wines varies from light straw to dark garnet. Georgian table wines are considered one of the best, successfully competing with vintage French ones. Often, according to experts, Kakheti wines from Georgia are superior in quality to European ones. They are produced from grape varieties Mtsvane, Saperavi, Rkatsiteli. They are distinguished by an unforgettable delicate bouquet and taste.

A typical Galician wine can be fruity and fresh, and may be a good start. And within the whites we have to take into account if we are looking for fruity or sweet. Many times in specialized institutions they often ask whether we want fruity or dry.

If you like it fruity, ask for Verdejo or Moscatel. Only "table wines" can be classified as " noble wines", originating from grape varieties considered preferred in the region in which they were produced, whose growing or aging age is at least two years. The second fermentation lasts min. from 9 months It has a less intense aroma. Less acidic and sweet.

• O. de Leon, upper Penedes and Conca de Barbera.
• Alcohol gradation ranges between 7-9º.
• Its alcohol level at the time of consumption will be no more than 18º.
• Produced from 10º wine.
• Made from 8-9º wine.
• The second fermentation lasts min. 12 months of intense aroma.
• It is more sour and sweeter.

These are those that, due to the grape varieties from which they come or by special processing methods, are preserved when in bottles carbon dioxide is part of the fermentation of own or added sugar and that, when the bottle is opened, it slowly releases bubbles without reaching foam.

All types of table wines received no original titles, but by the names of grape varieties, or the area where the grapes are grown. There are also compound names - Anapa-Riesling, Abrau-Riesling and others, there are many examples. Most table wines are varietal, that is, they are made from varietal grapes without mixing different wine materials. Azerbaijani table wines made from Matrasa and Tavkveri grape varieties are highly valued in the world. The North Caucasus also produces delicious table wines. They are made from Riesling grapes, these are wines from Novorossiysk and Anapa.

Let's find out what makes each of them different

The distinction between the various classifications of grapes is established according to their morphological characteristics: the size and shape of the clusters, the thickness of the skin, the number of seeds of the berry or the time of ripening. Additionally, all three types are cultivated differently.

In the case of table grapes, they are varieties susceptible to atmospheric conditions; we could say that they prefer soft or even warm temperatures. Most table grapes are found in the Mediterranean region. They require compact pulp, thick grains and no pips if possible. They are also very sun hungry and have their own light requirements. This explains why they are grown primarily in vine form, thereby producing a large plant cover that acts as a “sunscreen.”

In the most “grape-growing” country in the world, France, table wine is produced exclusively from those grape varieties that are grown on the territory of their country. Usually, for this purpose, several varieties of grapes are taken from various French wine-producing provinces. Real table wine from France has a special inscription on the label - Vin de Table de France. This is a kind of quality mark for local table wine. However, such “marks” are typical for most European table wines: producers are responsible to consumers for the high quality of their products.

What is geographical wine

By the way, did you know that Turkey is the third largest producer of table grapes in the world? Their gastronomic tastes make this fruit present in many of their recipes. The grape leaf is also highly valued in Turkish cuisine, as it is used in the development of Dolma, one of his favorite dishes.

There are approximately 50 varieties of table grapes sold in Spain, some of them also known as Aledo or Alicante. This last variety serves to give good luck to the next one as it ripens in late October from December. But is it possible to make wine with table grapes? Yes, you can; but that doesn't fit.

We can summarize: table wines are drinks for every day. Usually they are not served to guests, but are drunk with family – on weekends and at dinner. This type of wine is distinguished by its lightness and lower density. A pleasant bouquet, excellent taste - all this makes table wine very popular. For regular consumption, table wines are simply diluted with water. The strength decreases, but the taste remains unchanged.

Raisins are a very popular and consumed dried fruit. They can be done in two ways: allowing the air to dry in ventilated areas or applying artificial heat through machines. You can try making them at home in the oven or microwave oven. The end result is a very sweet grape, since the sugars are concentrated and there is a lot of flavor, which can be stored for a long time due to the loss of much of the water it contained.

The term "passages" does not mean that the fruit is "past." To make raisins, the grapes must be sweet, slightly acidic, without seeds and small size. In the supermarket we can find three types: Nutmeg raisins, Currants and Sultanas.

• Currant: These are black, seedless grapes, originating from Corinth.
• They are very fragrant and very small in size.
• They are meaty, large in size, intensely sweet and aromatic.

Again in this sector, it is surprising that Turkey is the world leader in raisin production.

The average buyer cannot always understand what the fundamental difference between them is. And if everything is even more or less clear with the color and country of origin, then how to determine the degree of strength, sugar content and aging?

Reducing the risk of heart disease

However, there are basic morphological requirements for winemaking. The intensity of light, temperature, precipitation or even wind determines the “vocation of the grape”.

• Climate is a determining factor in wine potential.
• It requires heat, is sensitive to frost and is resistant to lack of moisture.

Wines can be classified according to various characteristics such as color, age, sugar content, etc.

Knowing some of the basic characteristics of wine is important so that you can choose the most suitable pairing for each dish in your meal. Reserve. 1 year at least in oak barrels and 2 years in bottle. More than 2 years in oak barrels and 3 more bottles.

Wine classification

All grape wines are divided into two main types - sparkling (fizzy and champagne) and still wines. If we talk about still drinks (not containing carbonic acid), then all of them, in turn, are divided into three categories - table, fortified and dessert. Table wines have the lowest strength (no more than 14% vol.) and are produced using natural fermentation technology. Depending on the sugar content, table wines are divided into dry, semi-dry and semi-sweet. In color they can be white, red and pink.

We must remember that wine that has had more years is not better. Being a "living" product has an optimal point from which it can begin to deteriorate. The age of a wine is measured by vintage. All vintages are different and can be very different depending on many factors having great importance climate during this year.

White wines tend to have a shorter life than red wines. A few white wines usually last more than 2 or 3 years, but a good red wine can last several decades. Although there are always exceptions that prove the rule. But there may be different types gradations depending on the type and origin of the wine.

The next two categories of wines are fortified (aged), which allow the addition of rectified alcohol in the production technology, and dessert wines, which are flavored with various additives and have high content Sahara.

How and with what to drink table wines

Having understood the basic classification of wines, you also need to know that the definition of “table” is not always indicated on the label. The correct name for table wine is “ordinary” wine, as the labels usually indicate. And ordinary wine began to be called table wine due to the fact that these wines, in their own way, taste qualities are best suited for consumption during meals. And if we talk specifically about the consumption of ordinary wines, then depending on one’s classification different types certain wines are served.

Although we have a dedicated section on wine, we can give some ideas about the concepts used in wine tastings in order to be able to catalog and include them in the classifications above. Most wines go through a tasting process, which makes their classification possible.

Wine tasting map

Also known as a tasting card. Basic concepts that we can find. Everyone who represents him sees and understands. Wine and vineyards are inseparable from our culture. Because man leaves graphic evidence for history, he appears on the scene with a jug of wine in his hand: in Egyptian paintings, in Greek amphorae, in Roman mosaics.

For example, dry white and semi-dry wine served to fish dishes and poultry dishes. Heavier meat foods involve eating red rich wines, and depending on the type of meat served, the appropriate wine is selected. For example, beef goes well with red wine of any degree of sweetness, but dry red wine is most suitable for fatty pork.

Despite such ancestral wine culture, its social, literary and mystical projection, the Law took a long time to enter this area, which was alien to it, while it belonged to the world of sense or sense gratification. It was only when wine became a health, public order or economic problem - and government agencies were interested in these problems - that pragmatists and laws appeared, first prohibiting, then incentivizing and regulating production, marketing and consumption.

What is table wine

Over time, this remarkable legal body was overwhelmed by the technological advances and expansion of this branch of agricultural production, and its forecasts were insufficient or inadequate for the new situation created in environment European Economic Community.

Rose table wines are served with light salad appetizers and as an aperitif before dinner. Allowed to submit rose wines to some desserts and fruits. Rose and white wines can be enjoyed throughout the meal, while red wines are usually served only with the main course.

It is impossible not to mention the classic use of table wines as an addition to a picnic. In the fresh air, any ordinary wine goes well with snacks of cheese, bread and cold meat.
