More mad at wine

So, more news from Bellacera wine, the stuff that claims to be the greatest thing since George, George, George of the Jungle. Now it turns out that they are an Italian "style" Chardonnay. Where is it made? Romania? I mean please, it is pathetic that they can't even afford to buy grapes from Italy. At least you could get them from some cheap export place. It might not be good, but it sure sounds alot better then "style."
I will write more eventually. Try about 8 hours.

Actually there is an interesting trade-mark issue here. Wines particularly are not allowed to be named or identified as coming from a place other than their real origin. For example, a Bordeaux can only be so called if it actually is made from grapes from the region Bordeaux. More details of what the wine is actually claiming are necessary before comment ... Also leave poor George out of this - he won't play squash with me anymore!!!

"Where is it made? Romania?"

Look, if you are ridiculing them for making it in Romania then there should not be a question mark after "Romania." And if it is meant sarcastically then you are suggesting that it aught to be made in Romania in order to live up to its name but it's not.

And you say I don't pay attention.
