WINE IN SPAIN

 

INDO – A Guarantee of Quality

As with other agricultural products like olive oil and Spanish ham, Spanish wine goes through a rigorous quality control process from The Instituto Nacional de Denominaciones de Origin (INDO).

The INDO’s goal is to make sure all agricultural products, including wine, that have the DO (Denominación de Origin) label on their bottles have been inspected by the INDO. The INDO, by putting this label on the bottles, insures the origin of the product as well as its production methods and materials.
