It is similar to regulatory systems in France (AOC), Spain ( DO), Italy (DOC), and Germany ( QmP). The VQA system allows for sub-appellations, by which the grapes for wines are sourced from extremely specific geographical locations with different soil and climate. This is in accordance with the concept of ''terroir''.J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 759 Oxford University Press 2006 In addition, there are other classifications of wine in Canada.
