The term Liebfraumilch is associated with low quality wine, and, consequently, the German wine classification requires it only to be at the Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete (QbA) level-the third rank out of ten. In the US and the UK, perhaps the best known example has been Blue Nun, which no longer uses the Liebfraumilch designation. Wine with very similar characteristics but made from higher quality grapes can be labeled as Spätlese or Auslese. The generic label Liebfraumilch is typically used to market vintages from anywhere in most of the major wine growing areas of Germany, the notable exception being Mosel. The spelling Liebfraumilch is more common on labels of exported wine. The original German spelling of the word is Liebfrauenmilch, given to the wine produced from the vineyards of the Liebfrauenkirche or 'Church of Our Lady' in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Worms since the eighteenth century. Liebfraumilch or Liebfrauenmilch (German for 'Our Lady's Milk', in reference to the Virgin Mary) is a style of semi-sweet white German wine which may be produced, mostly for export, in the regions Rheinhessen, Palatinate, Rheingau, and Nahe. Müller-Thurgau is often used in the production of Liebfraumilch.
