Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete, more commonly abbreviated to QbA, is a category in the German wine classification, reserved for riper grapes than Deutscher Tafelwein and Deutscher Landwein but lower quality than Prädikat wines. The grapes may be chaptalized (have sugar added to increase final alcohol content).

Occasionally German wine growers who wish to avoid the restrictions of the classification system will sell their wine as QbA even though it is of much higher quality.
