The wine:
Vin de France is the most basic quality tier for wines from France. These are typically uncomplicated everyday drinks – most likely blends, but possibly varietal wines based on a well-known grape variety like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.Vin de France wines are those which do not meet the criteria stipulated by Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) or Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) appellation laws (see French Wine Label Information). This might be because the vineyards are outside the delimited production areas or because the grape varieties or vinification techniques used do not conform to the rules of the local appellations.
Although there are a handful of notable exceptions to the rule, most Vin de France wines are produced from high-yielding vines in the south of France (particularly Languedoc-Roussillon), most often from traditional, widely planted varieties such as Carignan or Merlot.
