List Of VDQS Wines
The following is a list of French wines that are entitled to use the designation Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (VDQS) on their label, which is the second highest category out of four.

—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Mixing one’s wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.”
