The German Wine Law regulates the production and classification of wine in Germany. It establishes quality standards and categorizes wines into different levels, such as Qualitätswein and Prädikatswein, which includes classifications like Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese. These categories help consumers understand the quality and sweetness of the wine. Additionally, the law emphasizes the importance of the terroir, or the unique environmental factors affecting grape cultivation. It also mandates strict labeling requirements, ensuring that consumers are informed about the origin and quality of the wine they purchase. This system aims to protect both producers and consumers in the wine market.
