Liebfraumilch

Liebfraumilch is a sweet white wine from Germany. The name is a German word meaning "milk of our blessed mother."

In the U.S., perhaps the best known example is Blue Nun. While the term is associated with low quality wine, Liebfraumilch is required by the German Wine Law to be one step above the lowest category, Tafelwein.
