General Principles
Individual types of wine are divided into a range of groups. The Czech Republic has traditionally adhered to the system which gives precedence to grape varieties and must-weight levels as measured in the grapes at the time of harvest. The latest amendments to the wine laws, however, also allow wine to be labelled primarily according to the place of origin of the grapes used in the wine’s production.
Observation:
the following abbreviation "°NM" refers to the degree of the so-called Czecho-Slovak Normalised Must-Weight Scale (NM for short), which indicates how many kilograms of sugar are contained in one hundred litres of grape juice. One degree in the NM scale stands for one kilogram of natural sugar in 100 litres of grape must.
Categorisation of wine type and quality according to the Wine Act of the Czech Republic
(we only mention categories which we import).
