Spanish Wine Region
The mainstream quality wine regions in Spain are referred to as '' denominaciones de origen protegidas (DOP)'' (similar to the French Appellations) and the wine they produce is regulated for quality according to specific laws, and in compliance with European Commission Regulation (CE) 753/2002. In 2016, the use of the term ''Denominación de Origen'' (DO) was updated to ''Denominación de Origen Protegida'' (DOP) by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA – ''Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación''); the traditional term of DO can still be used legally on labels, but it will eventually be replaced by DOP. The wine region classification in Spain takes a quite complex hierarchical form in which the ''denominación de origen protegida'' is a mainstream grading, equivalent to the French AOC and the Italian DOC. As of 2019, Spain has 138 identifiable wine regions under some form of geographical classification (2 DOCa/DOQ, 68 DO, 7 VC, 19 VP, and 42 ...
