Wine classification is done in many ways. The regional specific and grape type wine classification is what is normally used to tell you where it is from and what types of grape were used. There are other classification types that determine quality that make even some of the most expensive wines look cheap in comparison to quality.
Higher class wines are known for their quality to taste, aroma and overall enjoyment by the consumer. Many different people will report that higher priced wines taste very similar to those that one may find in a bargain liquor store. This shows that price does not determine quality. The main problem with pricing is importation of wines from other countries as well as the reviews of professional wine tasters around the world. High class wines do not have to be taste compared. You know which ones are great when you taste it and wish that it were the only wine you could ever have. Most people will not experience such a wine in their lifetimes if they do not explore their options.
Wine that can be classed between higher and lower class wines is usually thought of as average wine. These wines are generally mild tasting with simple aromas and flavors that are palatable. Many times this wine is not aged as well as higher class wines and can have some sugars left in the wine for a sweeter wine flavor. This can throw some people off in thinking that the sweet flavor makes for a better wine.
Lower class wines are often found in liquor stores and supermarkets. These are relatively inexpensive and can come in variations of flavors and strengths. Although price does not reflect the quality of the beverage, it can give you an idea of which wines are prized more for a certain overall quality. Many times an untrained tongue will not know the difference between expensive and inexpensive wines.
Factors such as aging, aging vessel, materials used and additives make a wine. The classification of the wine is determined of the quality of the product and materials used to make the wine. Wine that is aged in different vessels always has a different quality of flavor and aroma. Many times the wine brewers will add something to the wine to give it flavor or help to ferment it more quickly, this can severely affect the quality of the wine if the brewer is not careful.
Many European countries will not class wine in this way. Champagne is the classification given to wines produced in France. Port wines will come from Portugal. European countries will often not report what grapes they use in their wines as they only care about where it was grown as that often exemplifies quality.
