Sorry, havent spent as much time as I meant to improving the German wine articles. Merging to Deutscher Tafelwein to table wine is ok I think as it is an EU-wide definition now, and any local foibles can be mentioned. Worth fixing the redirects well though (not many). There are possibly some historical issues but they can always be moved to general German wine articles, so I would guess merge is best. Justinc 01:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think Deutscher Tafelwein should instead be merged to German wine classification and the descriptions of the other classifications there should be expanded. Phr (talk) 02:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] General
This article is bad though. Terrible. Justinc 01:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
It's simply not true that "table wine" stands for the lowest quality wine in the US. It's often used as a designation for blends. I doubt that the comment about it being a legal definition for fortified wine is true either. That's a shame because it would be nice to have a useful link to table wine when discussing wine.

The TTB (The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Treasury Dept.) defines "table wine" as 7% - 14% alcohol, non-sparkling and made from grapes. "Dessert wine" or as it is now named "Aperitif wine" is 15% and over: http://www.winepros.org/consumerism/labels.htm (can't log in) signed: cloverleaf

Lots of "super Loire" VdT wines are available from Mark Angeli, Eric Nicolas and Thierry Puzelat. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.72.148.93 (talk) 00:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
