Ready means a recoverable source and precise supplied-PDF locator. No direct quotation is being authenticated here. Limits: The source places Vin de France inside PGI and portrays all EU wines as PGI/PDO; this is retained as a verification warning, not a current classification rule. INAO wording, counts, thresholds and legal requirements need official checking. Do not use this appendix as regulatory authority.
