Table wine
Table wine
Table wine (pronunciation: /ˈteɪbəl waɪn/) is a type of wine that is typically served with meals. It is often less expensive and of a lower quality than fine wine, but can still be enjoyed for its taste and the way it complements food.
Etymology
The term "table wine" originates from the French word vin de table, which literally translates to "wine of the table". This term was used to describe wines that were served with meals, as opposed to dessert wines or fortified wines that were typically enjoyed after a meal.
