Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I am wondering... How can I know for sure what regions in the world wines are " supposed " to be legal? If I cannot find wine from California and Italy. Am I taking a gamble if I drink wine from Spain and France? How can I find out if Israeli wine is legal? Wines from Provence, are they usually considered legal? What about Rose' from Provence? Also, in general are all Cali wines like legal? Or just the ones from Napa, Sonoma and so on? What would it say on a bottle to know that the wine is like the real deal? " Estate grown and bottled " Something like that? So, there aren't a hundred middle men for the growing and bottling process? How would that be written for Italian wines? Also, what would be a synonym for this on a bottle that could be a signal for me? I would love to know more about this as my hobby for years has been wine and the past couple I branched out more into Sake because my hubby and I got into the whole Japanese kick. Also, my grandfather's family made wine before WW2 in Hungary. My grandfather continues to make wine for the family at home. Although, these days he isn't up to it. I wonder since the past few years my father has taken over- he " adjusts " the taste sometimes with sugar and puts it in the VAT and lets it sit longer. I wonder if that is illegal?? The type of wine grandpa and father make is wine that we add soda water to- to make what is called in Hungarian a " Fretch " if that is how I would spell it in English. How can I know if my family wine is legal? Thanks, Jodi SCD 7 Months Crohn's/Colitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
