Understanding QbA, also known as Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete
QbA is Germany’s largest wine category. It is equivalent to the lower echelons of what is referred to as “quality wine,” or Qualitätswein. As the literal translation suggests, the main requirement for a QbA wine is that all of the wine in a bottle with the QbA designation must originate from one of Germany’s 13 designated wine areas.
