Definitions of Classes
    

The following guide may assist exhibitors in choosing the right class for the wines.

Aperitif: A wine that can be drunk by itself before a meal and which stimulates the appetite.

Table Wine: A wine that is suitable for accompanying a meal. Generally not too strong in bouquet and flavour, with an alcohol content of only 10-12%, usually lighter in body and dryer than social and dessert wines.

After Dinner Wine (formerly called Dessert Wine): This wine can be white, golden, red or tawny. It needs to be rich in bouquet and flavour, sweet, full-bodied and of high alcohol content. It is meant to be served after dinner.

Social Wine: Widely made and drunk. This wine is intended for drinking other than with a meal. It is usually less strong and rich than a dessert wine, though with more flavour and sweetness than a table wine.

Rosé Wine: Not necessarily made from rose petals, this wine should be pink, delicate in bouquet and flavour, light in texture and alcohol and dry to medium dry. It is suitable for serving at table with many dishes.
