Regulation of Yields
In both France and Italy, the maximum allowed yields are regulated in wine laws, and vary between appellations.
In France, the maximum yields are given in the regulations for each appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC). The maximum allowed yield for given AOC in a given vintage is a combination of the base yield of the AOC, as modified by the plafond limité de classement (PLC), which is percentage set for each vintage. In most vintages, the PLC allows a production around 20 per cent above the base yield.

—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
