Talk:Denominación de origen/Archives/2018

Why does this article exist?

First of all, Denominación de Origen is not an exclusively Spanish thing. Many Latin-American countries use the exact same term for their products. Anyway, I don't think this merits its own article. It should be merged into Protected Geographical Status Likeminas (talk) 00:13, 11 March 2011 (UTC). If anybody can help me to edit this as an answer I'll really appreciate it. I have to say that it's not a Spanish thing as you say but the Spanish regulation and qualification of the DO is different than the Latin-American ones, even in Latin-America there are differences in the regulations and degrees of restrictions of the different DO so in fact the question is not Why does this articles exist? the correct question is "Where are the Latin-American articles explaining their DOs?. By the way there is also another article about Appellation of Origin in France and Designations of Origin in Italy and I don't see your question in this articles, that according to your logic, are the same...

It's an article because it's a notable topic. The derived Latin American labeling is now also covered (briefly) in the article. That could use expansion, in a new subsection.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:29, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Mistake in Hierarchy

At the end there is a mistake saying that the DOCa is the highest hierarchy in the Designation or Denominations of Origin in Spain. The highest qualification that a wine could get in Spain is VP or Vino de Pago, which is a recognition that only 15 wineries in Spain have and have more quality restrictions than the DOCa. In the article you may wrongly understand that Pago means vineyard, and a Vino de Pago is a wine that could be under a DO or another lower level, but according to the Spanish regulations that's not true.

Provide a reliable source that it's a "higher" designation. The information we have from sources cited so far is that it's an uncommon designation, but because it's limited to particular type of production, not because it's higher quality. It's better translated in this context as 'estate wine'. I've fixed that in the article.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:33, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
