PDO, PGI and Varietal Wines

There are three quality schemes operating in the UK which are currently based on the EU Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and varietal schemes. WineGB administers the schemes on behalf of Defra and publishes the lists of PDO and PGI wines.
