I've had to look up this information a few times so this blog post will make it easier for me to find this information in the future. 

In the EU

Americano = fortified aromatized wine with artemisia (wormwood) and gentian species.

Quinquina = fortified aromatized wine with quinine flavoring.

Bitter Vino = fortified aromatized wine with gentian species.

The Regulations are found here.  The text of this section of aromatized wines is below.
