Seems like it would be much harder to navigate, because it depends on
an entirely subjective classification. Dale has it right: if you don't agree,
you are completely lost. I don't actually spend much time in wine stores,
but when I am there I'm usually in a hurry, these days.

I agree with the herd here, too.
