I am not sure how to translate "Apellation d'Origine" - We use it in French as A.O.C 'Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée'. Do you have any idea?
It is part of a short news, for a dedicated food industry website; this is the title: "Campagne marketing de XXX en association avec les vins espagnols de D.O. (Appellation d’Origine) et lancement d’un nouveau logo international."
Or again: "La prochaine campagne de XXX gardera comme concept général leur association avec les vins espagnols d’Appellation d’Origine".
Thank you all in advance

Comment: "Thanks a lot. Designation of Origin does make sense, especially with the spanish D.O (denominacion de origen)words, which appear in the source text - as per Mactrad note below. Thank you all :)

: The text is about Spanish wines, so no reason to have "appellation contrôlée" in the English document.

: Do not translate, but keep each term in its ;anguage of origin, with explanation if absolutely necessar; but all these terms are well-known in Italian, French, Spanish....

Label of origin or French term with explanation
If you need to translate the entire term (A.O.C.), I would suggest using the French term followed by an explanation in English in parentheses - "label guaranteeing the origin of wine and cheese". If you're only translating "appellation d'origine," you could simply say "label of origin."
See http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/TA02/EREC1575....
"ii. invite the member states to harmonise their legislation on designations of origin and quality labels, making it possible for a label of origin to be introduced for hill farm products"

D.O. (label guaranteeing the origin of the wine)
I presume D.O. is the Spanish equivalent of A.O.C.
Why use French terms for Spanish wine?

: Tout à fait d'accord : soit garder le terme en espagnol (Denominación de Origen - sans oublier l'accent), soit le traduire en anglais; mais certainement pas en français.
