1. Any wine that is not fortified or sparkling. 2. In the United States the official definition is a wine that contains a minimum of 7 percent alcohol and a maximum of 14 percent. This definition does not define quality in any way, although some connote table wine with lower-quality, inexpensive wine. That's a mistake because many wines that simply say "Red Table Wine" or "White Table Wine" are excellent and not at all inexpensive. 3. European synonyms for table wine include Germany's deutscher tafelwein, France's vin de table, and Italy's vino da tavola. Each country has its own definition for table wine.
