 | | German wine is officially classified by the ripeness of the grapes, rather than an attempt to classify terroirs as in the French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée system, vinification methods and grape varieties as in Italy, or region as in American Viticultural Area. | | | For a list of regions, see German wine. | | | German wine classification - definition of German wine classification in Encyclopedia |

| | German wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | German wine from Franken in the characteristic round bottles (Bocksbeutel) | | | Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of German wines is the high level of acidity in them caused both by the lesser ripeness in a northerly climate, and by the selection of grapes such as riesling which retain acidity even at high ripeness levels. | | | Red wine has always been hard to produce in the German climate, and in the past was usually light coloured, closer to rosé or the red wines of Alsace. |

| | Talk about late harvest wine, German Eiswein grapes are harvested while frozen sometimes as late as January, thus the name “ice wine.” The grapes must not be infected by the botrytis mold and the Oechsle of BA (120°). | | | White wine grapes produced here are Ruländer, Müller-Thurgau, Gewürztraminer and Riesling and Spätburgunder for red wine. | | | With one exception (Trollinger-Limberger Curvée from Würtemberger), Classic wines are wines of a single variety or made from a single grape. |

| | German wine is easy to spot in its tall, tapered bottles, green for the wines of the Moselle or Mosel, brown for wines coming from the Rhine regions, the wine the British have called 'Hock' since the days of Queen Victoria. | | | Burgundy is a region fraught with difficulty for the wine drinker. | | | Sauvignon de Touraine is its white wine equivalent and the blackcurrant-fresh dry wines made from this grape, widely planted in Bordeaux, are particularly popular in the Central Vineyards of the Loire. |

| | The wines of germany |
| | According to German law, the grape variety does not have to appear on the label, but when it does, it guarantees that at least 85% of the wine has to be produced from that grape. | | | Although often marketed under a proprietary brand label, many German wines are identified by their region, district or vineyard and by the degree of grape ripeness at harvest time. | | | German wine producers are competing successfully, particularly at the lower end of the market, with wine styles and flavours that appeal to the international palate. |

| | Tasting is the best way to appreciate the special character of German wines, as well as to understand the subtle differences which distinguish a Rhine wine from a Mosel wine, or a Riesling from a Silvaner, or a simple table wine from a late-harvested wine. | | | The German practice of harvesting grapes at various stages of ripeness (selective harvest) determines the official quality category of a wine and is also an important guideline when purchasing wine. | | | If at least 85 % of a wine is made from one kind of grape, the name of the variety may be indicated on the label. |

| | When they see a wine bearing the VDP capsule and the name of a vineyard site (wines from classified sites), they can be certain that it is a premium wine that clearly reflects its origin. | | | The wines are subject to examination during the organoleptic VDP estate inspection to confirm their overall quality and to ensure that they conform with the level of quality expected of wines from classified sites. | | | Then, and only then, will VDP members market their wines with a vineyard designation on the label; 2) said wines must also meet additional quality criteria regarding maximum yield (65 hl/ha), grape variety (traditional varietals), ripeness level of the grapes at harvest (completely ripe), selective harvesting, and supplementary sensory testing. |

| | In stark contrast to the Reinheitsgebot, or purity law that protects German beer drinkers from any adulteration of their suds, wine lovers are unprotected from vintners who choose to blend wines (a common practice in Germany and in California). | | | A German friend wanted to buy several cases of his favorite wine, and we were on our way to do a little wine tasting. | | | While the beer law favors the consumer, the wine classification law leaves the consumer in the dark as to the actual origin of the vintage. |

| | Qualitätswein mit Prädikat usually abbreviated to QmP is the level in the German wine classification to which almost all quality German wines belong. | | | The wines must be produced from recognised grape varieties grown within one district, which must be declared on the label, and the grapes must reach a prescribed level of ripeness depending on the region and variety. | | | QmP wines must be further labelled into categories that are determined officially by their ripeness, but in practice are a rough indicator of quality (and price). |

| | Ice wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ice wine (or icewine or Eiswein in German) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen. | | | Natural ice wines require a hard frost (by law in Canada a minimum of -8 °C/ 17 °F and in Germany a minimum of -7 °C/ 19 °F) to occur sometime after the grapes are ripe, which means that the grapes may hang on the vine for several months following normal harvest. | | | Unlike other dessert wines (such as Sauternes, Beerenauslese, or Trockenbeerenauslese), grapes for ice wine tend not to be affected by Botrytis cinerea or Noble Rot. |

| | Out of hock by Keith Stewart New Zealand Listener |
| | Hock-in-the-bottle, not hock-on-the-haunch, was vernacular for a German wine hailing from one of the winegrowing regions on the Rhine, taking its name from the town Hochheim, whose wines – known in literal German tradition as Hochheimers – were favourites of Queen Victoria. | | | Gradually, hock shifted meaning, becoming a generic name for medium-dry whites, as opposed to medium-sweet whites that were called moselles, after that other famous German wine river, the Mosel. | | | Hock became riesling-sylvaner and then müller-thurgau, and across the country chablis was being replaced by chardonnay, and claret by cabernet sauvignon. |

| | German wine comes predominantly from the areas along the upper and middle Rhine and its tributaries; the northern half of the country is too cold and flat to grow grape vines. | | | Generally, with the exception of mustard for sausages, German dishes are rarely hot and spicy — the most popular herbs are traditionally parsley, thyme, laurel, and chives, the most popular spices are white pepper (used in small amounts), juniper berries and caraway. | | | German doughnuts are usually balls of dough with jam or other fillings inside, and are known as Berliner, Pfannkuchen or Krapfen depending on the region. |
