General Wine Term

 


For American wines, this signifies that the wine was made from the highest quality grapes of the batch, and thus should taste better (and probably cost more) than the normal bottle. Usage of the term on a bottle of wine is not enforced by any government agency, however, so there is no guarantee that the wine is any better than another.
