What term is used in Austria for wines without a geographical indication?

In Austria, the term used for wines without a geographical indication is "Wein." This designation is generally applied to wines that do not meet the criteria for higher classifications. "Wein" can encompass a broad range of wines that may come from various regions or be made from different grape varieties, which do not carry specific restrictions or requirements.

The other terms mentioned—Landwein, Qualitätswein, and Verrine—represent classifications with specific geographical boundaries or quality standards.

Landwein denotes a category of regional wines that must comply with certain geographical and production regulations but are a level below Qualitätswein. Qualitätswein refers to quality wine that comes from designated quality wine regions, adhering to stricter guidelines and offering more assurance of origin and quality. Verrine does not commonly relate to Austrian wine classifications and is more closely associated with a specific type of serving method or dish, often in gastronomy.
