Spain’s wine laws, like Italy’s, provide for a bi-level QWPSR category: Denominaciónes de Origen (DO) and a higher classification, Denominaciónes de Origen Calificada (DOC), the latter created in 1991. So far, Rioja and Priorato are the only two regions that have been awarded the DOC (also known as DOCa). Wines that do not qualify as DO fall into the table wine category Vino de la Tierra (equivalent to the French Vin de Pays).
