local wines

Area vineyard bottles

Wines produced in the region where they're sold or consumed, as opposed to imported varieties.

Restaurants often feature a local wines section highlighting nearby vineyards: We asked the sommelier about local wines from the valley.

The phrase emphasizes geographic proximity and sometimes implies support for regional producers.
