Appellation is the official title given to a product made in a specific place (or set of places), in a style particular to that place. France is home to the world's most famous appellation system, a model which has been adopted as a model for Europe-wide regulations. Most appellations take the form of place names (e.g. Champagne, Barolo, Jerez-Xerez-Sherry). Over time the word has developed a secondary, simpler usage, indicating only a place (e.g. Napa Valley) rather than a product.
