Question

Which one of the following is a French labelling term used to indicate a wine with a protected designation of origin (PDO)?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating the question, we examine which term is associated with French labeling for wines that have a protected designation of origin.
Option a: 'Denominaciones de Origen Protegidas' is Spanish for 'Protected Designations of Origin' and is used in Spain, not in France. It does not indicate a French PDO term.
Option b: 'Denominazione di Origine Controllata' is Italian for 'Controlled Designation of Origin' and is used in Italy. It is unrelated to French labeling practices.
Option c: 'Qualitätswein' is a German quality designation meaning 'quality wine' and is a German wine term, not French. It does not signal a French PDO.
Option d: 'Appellation d'origine contrôlée' is the historical French label for wines tied to a specific geographic origin and quality controls; it directly corresponds to France's PDO concept, making it the correct French term for a wine with a protected designation of origin.
