Answer 1

Definition of table wine:

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.

Definition of chardonnay:

Noun 1. Chardonnay - white wine grape
Synonyms: chardonnay grape 2. Chardonnay - dry white table wine resembling Chablis but made from Chardonnay grapes
Synonyms: Pinot Chardonnay

By Wordnet Dictionary

Chardonnay: (chÄr`d'n*ā"), n. 1. a white wine grape.
2. dry white Chablis-type table wine made from Chardonnay grapes.
Syn. -- Pinot Chardonnay.

By Webster Dictionary

Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape variety used to make a white varietal wine.

It is believed to be named after the village of Chardonnay in the Mâconnais region of France, and it is possible that the variety was first bred there. DNA fingerprinting research at the University of California, Davis suggests that Chardonnay has originated as a cross between Pinot and the Croatian Gouais Blanc grape varieties. Gouais Blanc is not popular in its own right and is almost extinct.

Chardonnay is also known by the names Aubaine, Beaunois, Melon Blanc, and, historically Pinot Chardonnay.

Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles. In the U.S., it is often made using full malolactic fermentation and no oak, which yields a soft wine, often with fruity flavors. When aged with oak, it aquires vanilla, caramel, and butter aromas. At the opposite end of the stylistic continuum is Chablis, much cooler than most winemaking regions, where most wines see little new oak, and malolactic is not typically used. This produces a significantly more acidic wine, with perhaps more influence from terroir. In the middle are Chardonnays from moderate climates, which can display tropical fruit flavors, and, depending on winemaking, a combination of the above characteristics. Chardonnay is also an important component in Champagne, and there are some 100% Chardonnay Champagnes, labeled blanc de blancs.

In 2001, Chardonnay stood 8th-ranked in global planting of grape varieties by area, with an estimated 140,000 hectares, mostly in the United States of America, France, Australia and Italy. Its popularity (and its vapidity, according to some) have caused a backlash from some wine lovers, who declare themselves interested in ABC, or Anything But Chardonnay.

In Australia and New Zealand, Chardonnay varietal wines are among the most popular white wines. Australia is one of the few locales where Chardonnay is commmonly blended to make a still wine. The traditional blending partner there is Semillon.

Answer 2

The girl above with the long answer is most correct. I just had to comment on the people who really don't know what they are talking about. "Table Wine" is really any wine in the USA whos alchohol content is at or below 14 percent. Chardonnay can be a type of table wine as well as any merlot, reisling, cabernet, and so on...

There are some wines that don't describe what grape is used in their making and are simply labelled as red or white table wine. In general these are the most inexpensive wines at the store but some can be quite good. I hope that this helps to further you understanding on the subject.

Answer 3

A Chardonney wine comes from the Chardonney region of France and Table wine comes from anywhere.

Answer 4

Chardonnay is a specific type of grape. Typically if a wine is labeled Chardonnay, it is a majority of that type of grape.

A "Table Wine" can be any blend of grapes. It's not necessarily any better or worse tasting for this. For example, a Tignanello is a Red Table Wine, but it's a fabulous wine that can sell for hundreds of dollars.

However, in general, a Table Wine, *is* a lesser quality wine, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it.

Go with what you like. : )
