Tafelwein

Tafelwein meaning in German wine

Tafelwein means “table wine” and is a legacy German term for the basic table-wine category. Modern German labels generally use Deutscher Wein for the comparable entry-level category, while Landwein, Qualitätswein, and Prädikatswein sit above it. In older writing and labels, Tafelwein indicates simple everyday wine with minimal origin specificity, not a protected vineyard or premium quality designation.
