Gemeinde
[ger-MINE-der]
A German word for "community" or "village." On German wine labels the name of the Gemeinde (appended with an er, which converts it to an adjective) precedes that of the GROSSLAGE or EINZELLAGE. For example, the Einzellage named Mäuerchen associated with the village named Geisenheim appears on the label as "Geisenheimer Mäuerchen"; the Grosslage named Auflangen associated with the town of Nierstein appears as "Niersteiner Auflangen."
