VDQS to disappear

>> Tuesday, January 29, 2008

http://www.bkwine.com/images/vote-2.gifVDQS (Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure) will cease to exist as a classification. VDQS is a not very well know and little used category that is placed between Appellation Controlée (the highest group) and Vins de Pays. It has often functioned as a waiting room for regions aiming at becoming AOC. France has now decided to eliminate this category entirely by 2011, perhaps since it is in reality little used. Current VDQS districts will have to choose between (trying to become) AOC, with corresponding stricter rules, or Vin de Pays.
