What does DOCG mean on the label?
  1. Organic wine
  2. Mature wine
  3. Quality assurance
  4. Stored properly
Explanation
Answer: C - DOCG is a means of quality assurance. The Italians modeled their system after the French AOC system. There are three designations from easiest to hardest to attain: DO, DOC, DOCG. This government certification means that the wine (or cheese) was produced in a specific region, in a specific manner, and meets a quality standard. The idea is that if you buy a DOCG wine from a specific region it is supposed to be a great representation of that region.
