The initials GG denote Grosses Gewächs, a dry wine.

• A. Grosses Gewächs
• B. Gutswein
• C. Grand Cru
• D. Gewürztraminer

Answer: (A)

GG stands for Grosses Gewächs, the top-tier dry wine designation in Germany. This label comes from premier vineyard sites (Erste Lage) and signifies a dry style that German producers and the VDP uphold as the finest among their dry wines. It’s a specific classification, not just a grape or a general estate wine. That’s why this option is the right one. Gutswein refers to the estate wine from broader holdings and is not the high-end label represented by GG. Grand Cru is a French term from other wine regions and not used in German labeling. Gewürztraminer is a grape variety, not a labeling category.
