Table wine 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. 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.
Vinho Verde Vinho Verde Vinho Verde () (literally 'green wine') refers to Portuguese wine that originated in the historic Minho province in the far north of the country. The modern-day 'Vinho Verde' region, originally designated in 1908, includes the old Minho province plus adjacent areas to the south. In 1976, the old province was dissolved. Vinho Verde is not a grape variety, it is a DOC for the production of wine. The name literally means "green wine," but translates as "young wine", with wine being released in 3-6 months after the grapes are harvested. They may be red, white, or rosé and
