The direction this discussion runs is absolutely moot.
The problem does not arise with high-end appellations.
The real problem: Why should a plain AOC "Bordeaux" wine not be
able to mention "Merlot" or "Sauvignon Blanc"? Why should a "Côtes
du Rhône" not be able to say "Viognier" or "Syrah"? Why should a
"Côtes de Provences" not be able to mention "Grenache"?
I don't see any sense in not permitting to mention the grape
variety onj these type of wines.
