California Wines

What’s in the Bottle
 Today almost every California
wine comes from the juice of a
single dominant grape variety –
and that grape variety is named on
the wine label.
 In most cases, the name of the

grape variety, is the name of the
wine.

Varietal Wine
 Named after its sole or
dominant grape variety – and
that’s the main type of wine,
California produces.
 Now, U.S. Federal

regulations dictate that a wine
must derive at least 75 percent
from the variety that’s name on
the label
