Vin de Pays is a French term that translates to "country wine." It refers to a category of wine that is produced in specific regions of France but does not meet the stricter regulations of AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) wines. These wines are often made from a variety of grape types and can be produced in larger quantities, allowing for more flexibility in winemaking. The Vin de Pays designation allows winemakers to express their creativity while still adhering to certain quality standards. This category includes a wide range of styles, from red and white to rosé, making it accessible to many wine drinkers looking for quality wines at reasonable prices.
