==United States== {{main|American wine}} In the United States, the [[Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau]] regulations specify a minimum variety content of 75% of the labeled grape, for ''[[Vitis vinifera]]'' wines, and 51% for ''[[Vitis labrusca]]'' wines.<ref name=OCW-varietal/> There is no restriction on the identity of the balance. Many states in the United States require specific compositions to qualify for sale under a particular varietal labels. For example, in [[Oregon wine|Oregon]], wines subject to its regulation must be identified by the grape variety from which it was made, and certain varietals must contain at least 95% of that variety, although the new "Southern Oregon" sub-[[American Viticultural Area|AVA]] allows for the minimum 75% figure.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}
