  1. DOC (or DOP): DOC stands for Denominação de Origem Controlada and means the wine comes from a strictly defined geographical area with recommended and permitted grapes and maximum vine yields (to control quality). Technically there are 31 DOCs in Portugal although 3 of them overlap, making it seem more like 28.
  2. Vinho Regional (or IGP): The entirety of Portugal is divided into 14 regional wine ("vinho regional") areas which have less strict rules for controlling which types of grapes are used as well as maximum vine yields. While this implies that the wines will not be as high quality, many creative and pioneering producers in Portugal use the Vinho Regional designation to create excellent wines using grapes or blends not allowed in DOC.
  3. Vinho (Wine): The most basic classification of Portuguese table wine. Chances are you won't see this outside of Portugal.
