I'm sure F-X will forgive me ... ... if I pursue my peer comment here.

As you say, describing something as an 'appellation d'origine contrôlée' is fine, because that is an explanation; but to go from there to calling it an 'AOC' wine is in my view a step too far — and one I doubt even the Sénat would condone.

Hi Christophe, I am sorry that you have such a bad perception. I am not living in an ivory tower nor sitting on an ivory chair. But the concept of 'peer agreement' or lack thereof was supposed to be based on solid linguistic facts. One cannot routinely give 'neutrals' or 'disagrees' just for the sake of it and have fun. If an answer is correct, the translation good and based on an answerer´s track record, you can see who is serious in thinking thoroughly and submitting well-thought answers. Just take a look.
P.S. Je ne suis pas perchée sur un trône et j'ai une très haute estime de mes collègues.
Désolée
Christophe Delaunay Jun 13, 2013:
I'm not sure I get it.... One cannot put "disagree" because people have a fit of tantrum and now "neutral" is not accepted either?! Boy, are we susceptible and high up on our ivory chair!!
Tony M Jun 13, 2013:
Well... One finds both 'X wine AOC' and 'AOC X wine', in both FR and EN, so I think the choice is probably up to you — and may also depend on how this fits in with the rest of your text.

"Western Cape (AOC)" might work — it is often used in brackets in FR as in EN.
Jean Mbonyi (asker) Jun 13, 2013:
Au cas où j’utilisais « Appellation d’origine contrôlée » ou « IGP », comment pourrai-je y insérer « Western Cape » ?

Pour « Vin provenant de.. », il y a lieu d’y inscrire la région de provenance.

Fraipont et Tony qu’est-ce que vous en dites ?

Vin d'origine Western Cape


Kumala, Merlot-Pinotage 2012
Western Cape, Afrique du Sud / Vin d'origine Western Cape /
Prix: 11,95 $ / Code: 10489743
Offert à 11.65 $, ce Merlot-Pinotage de la maison Kumala, constitue certainement un des bons rapports qualité-prix dans les vins en provenance d'Afrique du Sud. Le Pinotage est un cépage qui est le résultat d'un croisement entre les cépages Cinsault (Hermitage) et Pinot Noir. On le retrouve principalement en Afrique du Sud. Un petit vin intéressant à connaître, une belle entrée en matière pour découvrir l'Afrique du Sud et le Pinotage. Au nez, on y décèle d'invitants arômes de prune mûre, de cerises confites ainsi que des petites touches végétales. En bouche, il est fruité, agréable, souple, vif, généreux et dispose d'un bel équilibre et d'une certaine rondeur. À ce prix, c'est un bon achat.

Servir à 16 °C. Il sera idéal pour accompagner les spaghettis sauce à la viande, des pâtes au beurre et huile d'olive avec poivre et pamigianno reggiano râpé, avec des satays de boeuf, ou avec le rôti de porc.

neutral Tony M : On the other hand, I think this is a specific expression with a special meaning; I don't think it means just 'comes from'. / Well, to use your own words, it didn't seem like a "serious, well-thought" answer. Peer comments are 'to help asker decide'.

I read the first 3 words. I did not pay attention to the next quoted phrase. But really, is that worth a 'neutral', just for the sake of it?//My track record speaks for itself. Won't dignify provocateur with any further answer.

"Wine of Orgin Scheme

Importance of origin

Because the role of origin is so important, an origin control system has for many years been in place in the traditional winelands of Europe, to protect both the producer and consumer. The two factors which play the most important role in determining the character and quality of a wine are nature (soil, climate and location) and the human hand (cultivar choice, viticultural practices and winemaking techniques). Of these two, nature is considered to be the more important factor with a greater influence. In certain areas vines grow better and within the South African wine-producing areas there are differences in soil, climate and location which cause wines to vary from region to region.

If a wine claims origin, it is the statutory regulations which ensure that the wine really is from that origin. When the term 'Wine of Origin? or the abbreviation 'W.O.? together with the name of a production area, such as Stellenbosch, Durbanville or Robertson appears on a label, it confirms that 100% of the grapes from which the wine was made come from that specific area.

et bien je mettrais "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Cap occidental"

Well I've been thinking of Tony's objections to "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" or AOC.
I can understand his gripes.
The obvious solution would be to avoid the capitals, like in the French senate document and go for "appellation d'origine contrôlée Cap occidental"
Peer comment(s):

agree wolfheart : oui AOC - mais il y a aussi AOP - appellation d'origine protégée
15 mins
merci !
disagree Tony M : I think that's unwise; even though it may be a near equivalent, AOC does not exist outside France (AFAIK), so this would lead to an aberration. Yes, but even if it is an equivalent, it simply cannot be used for wines from outside France.
33 mins
sorry Tony, this is the exact equivalent for South Africa (http://www.wine.co.za/Misc/Page_Detail.aspx?PAGEID=296). Given the context (SA) there is no ambiguity whatsoever.// You can't possibly be more restrictive than the sénat français itself who use it
agree Michaela Pizzinini : oui http://www.senat.fr/rap/r01-349/r01-34932.html: "C'est notamment le cas de l'Afrique du sud qui a instauré en 1973 un système d'appellation d'origine contrôlée (wines of origin scheme), inspiré du dispositif européen"
