Vin de France

**Vin de France** is not a place but France's most flexible national wine category, replacing the old "Vin de Table" tier and covering wine from anywhere in the country. **Wines & grapes** — Any style and almost any grape is allowed, and unusually for France, producers may name the grape variety and vintage on the label. It spans everything from cheap everyday bottles to ambitious "declassified" wines made outside the strict appellation rules. **Character** — Because it carries no geographic or stylistic constraints, quality varies enormously: some are simple blends, others are boundary-pushing cuvées from serious growers who want creative freedom. **Good to know** — A Vin de France label tells you little on its own, so the producer's name is your best guide to what's inside.
