As a non wine-obsessed consumer, one could be forgiven for thinking that the wine industry doesn’t have a lot of compassion for its customers. For example, a question as basic as what the name of a wine actually means has no consistent answer.

Others (usually from the new world) trade under the name of their principal grape, like Shiraz or Chardonnay.
