Untitled[edit]

I changed all Bourgogne appellations to Bourgogne- as opposed to Burgundy -, since it is the proper name of a wine. Calling Bourgogne PasseToutGrains Burgundy PasseToutGrains is like calling Chateau Latour Castle of the Tower! .--Auchins

galery[edit]

I have installed the photo gallery because I think that this makes such a very long list a little bit more lifelike.--Ile-de-re 12:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alsace Grand Cru appellations and some other things[edit]

At present, this article lists every Alsace Grand Cru vineyard as its own appellation. I consider this to be incorrect, since the common description is that there are two AOCs in Alsace: AOC Alsace and AOC Alsace Grand Cru. This can also be seen from the fact that there is just one set of appellation rules documents for Alsace G.C. at INAO, not one for each vineyard designation, which would be the case if they were separate appellations. The same goes for the varietal designations, which also are not AOCs of their own. In fact, since the varietal designations can be used on AOC Alsace GC as well, to follow the logic of the list, each GC vineyard x each allowed grape variety should also be its own appellation... ~~Cremant d'Alsace is also not an appellation of its own, it's another designation.~~ Also, the whole list is probably in need of being gone through against an up-to-date AOC/VDQS list, since I found a name (Vins de Moselle) which was changed in 1995 and a few former VDQSs that have been promoted to AOC status. (I corrected those I stumbled upon, but didn't check them all.) Finally, some names found on the bottom do not appear on top, and the form of the name differs in a few cases (not changed for the most part). Tomas e 13:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oups, Crémant d'Alsace is indeed an appellation of its own, in difference to a few other Crémants around. Tomas e 14:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now removed, together with some sec & rosé designations that do not appear as their own AOCs in INAO's online database of AOC regulations. My additions and removals have been checked against this database, but not the list as a whole. Tomas e 16:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Complete![edit]

Hello friends, I have some good news to tell you :

1 - I just completed the french wikipedia version of the list (please, check it by clicking in the french language link, in the left area of the article). The list (in the french article) is now complete according to the INAO : there are currently 403 AOC wine appellations, excluding the local designations.

2 - As requested by Tomas e, the local designations (like those ones from the "Alsace grand cru" AOC) are now in a list of their own, in the bottom of the page, and not anymore in the list itself, because THEY ARE NOT AOC appellations by their own, even if they are related to one of them (you win Tomas ;).

3 - Remember that your english version of the list still includes AOVDQS wines, and that's definitely wrong because they are NOT AOC wines, AOVDQS is another type of appelation label. There is an article for their own list which I created here, in the english wikipedia. Just check the "List of VDQS wines" article.

I honestly think that the french version of the list is definitely finished according to the nowadays "status quo". So now... dear anglo-saxon friends... you can do the right thing and correct your own list ;) Kisses from Paris 343KKT Kintaro (talk) 07:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information in this list - accuracy and sources[edit]

I've just completed an effort to add years the AOCs were created to this list. This turned out to be less trivial than I thought. A practical list of all EU QWpsr which I tried to work from included years, but that was years for the presently valid legal AOC documents. It turns out these are sometimes just amended (keeping the original year as a designation) and sometimes created in a new version (with a new year). If the latter type of document is accessed on INAO's site they often contain a reference to when the original AOC was created. However, in some cases, in particular when several AOCs had one common document, I was not able to make this date out. Thus, it is likely that a few AOCs (some Burgundy village AOCs, for example) are older than what is presently stated in the list.
At the same time I was doing this, I also did some checking for accuracy, spelling and so on. Somewhat frustratingly, for "multipart" names, the French source documents are not always consistent in capitalisation and hyphenation! Thus, Muscadet-Sèvre et Main, Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Main, or perhaps Muscadet de Sèvre et Main or even Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Main? I have usually gone for the title or first line of the AOC documents. So there may be a need for additional redirects. And then there is the old ambiguity of what is really a separate AOC and what is a designation within an appellation. Anjou-Gamay is an example, which perhaps is just Anjou AOC or perhaps its own AOC. Tomas e (talk) 14:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

duplicate entry[edit]

Bourgogne Coulanges-la-Vineuse is listed twice. Sorry, I don't know how to delete something from a table. Can someone else take care of this? Adcva (talk) 22:00, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
