Discussion

Angela Dickson (X) Jul 3, 2006:
frankly, Mark, I was guessing... perhaps it's a methodology for admitting new members?

approval operations of wines, which give right to the appellation under the AOC system

In France, all union members from a particular AOC (appellation d'origine controlee) have to have their wines approved every year to maintain their AOC status. Basically, wine producers need to have their wines certified for demonstrating the typical qualities of a particular appellation that they have produced the wine under.

wine approval processes which provide a route to 'appellation' status

would this suit? I'd guess that most English speakers who would be reading a text like this would know what 'appellation' meant.
Peer comment(s):

agree Andreas THEODOROU : yes, and perhaps the abbrevaition AOC might mean more to anglophone wine drinkers
