Vin du Pays actually means wine of the country.  It is usually used to describe wine from lesser known wine producing regions.  Vin Ordinaire can mean wines of anonymous origins.  Both of these terms are used to describe table wines.  Table wines are a great way to discover basic wines of a country.  I like to try to them occasionally because there is a great chance to discover a good wine for a very reasonable price, and we all like that concept.

I am just going to show a collection of labels to show the variety that can be encountered in this broad classification.  Most do not reveal much about the wine.  The good thing about these wines is that you don’t have to worry about vintage year ratings and the price should be good.  These are the wines that can be great with cheese and crackers and a good book.  Need I add more?
