Wine 101 Practice Test

VdT, or Vino da tavola, is the term for basic, inexpensive table wines with no protected geographic indication. This category covers the everyday wines you’d encounter in a trattoria—simple, affordable, and not tied to a specific region’s strict quality rules. The other terms denote progressively stricter designations: IGT signals a defined geographic area with some quality controls; DOC and DOCG carry regional origin and tight production standards. So for the cheap, plain wines typical of a casual Italian meal, VdT is the best fit.
