Question

If you were buying wine from germany and did not know the estates, you could determine that the wine quality was low if it had the most finite information on geographic origin of the wine

Answer 1

There are two primary features that define wine in Germany – the origin of the wine and the quality/sweetness level.  Germans have organized these 2 features labeled wines to help you identify differences of each wine to the other. If you are buying in Germany, remember that there are 13 regions. If the label had the most finite information on geographic origin, you could say that the quality of the wine you bought in Germany was low.   

Answer 2

The answer is false. You cannot base it from the geographic origin of the wine. There are four factors to consider to determine the quality of the wine. And these four are:

-          The plant’s environment – the type of weather and climate of where the wine was produced.

-          Species and varieties – it depends on what specie of grapevine was used.

-          Viticultural practices – this means that the winegrower doesn’t interfere with the growing of the plants.

-          Enological practices – this means oxygen management.
