labelling / designation / appellation
Seit August 2009 gilt in ganz Europa eine von der EU neu geschaffene Kategorie namens „geschützte geografische Angabe“ (ggA) – auf Französisch: „Indication Géographique Protégée“ (IGP). Die meisten Landweine in Frankreich übernehmen in Zukunft diese Bezeichnung.
