message: Is it true that Merlot sales dropped, quite signifigantly after sideways came out? maybe something could be added about this.--Richy 13:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added links to the research that seems to have sparked this debate (if it's a debate) and one of the "anecdotal reports" that resulted. -- Darthsco 20:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

text: The thing is, the NPR report about the movie's effects came out in 2004, but the Nelson report cited is from 2005.  --24.180.25.249 19:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I think there might be some way of salvaging it -- easiest way is to reference tasting notes. Anyone got a source for a general merlot profile? I know Robert Parker's website requires registration, but surely there's another? Haikupoet 04:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Connoisseur stuff"

message: I've been working on this article and adding facts/references but prose is not my strongest suit. If anyone out there is willing to string this together into more compelling prose that will be great. Agne 14:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone keeps adding a trivia fact related to the play "Verhonda on the Verge" even though, as far as I can tell, this play does not exist. I'm removing it again, but if you want to include it please explain yourself. Korny O'Near 14:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

message: What is red about the merlot grape? Is it not true that red wines are mainly produced through blue grapes? I e the wine is red, the grape is not?'--Paracel63 (talk) 13:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Merlot is considered a red grape because it makes mainly red wine. Though the juice is colorless and it can make white wine but usually "White Merlot" is actually a blush wine since some color gets leached from the skins even with very careful handling. Technically you can describe the actual skin color of the grapes as blue (or even blue-black) but that is usually just semantics since it is more about the color of the wine than the grape itself.

thread_title: Red?

message: Also, can you explain how you feel images like this focus more on the winery rather than the intent--showing how lighter Merlot from Old World wine regions like Lalande-Pomerol are often used for food pairing? Can people even make out the winery name without enlarging the pic? Yet this is objectionable? AgneCheese/Wine 17:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: That it is unfortunate if that is the case. I would like to know  thoughts because, based on his reasoning above, this picture should be acceptable. However, as it usually the case with wholesale deletion--editorial discretion gets thrown out the window. If you are going to use Drmies partial agreement with you (even though he didn't agree with your POV that this is advertisement) to go on a WP:POINTy deletion spree through wine articles then it would be nice to get some clarity on what IS and isn't acceptable.

replies: text: I have to explain that a plate of partially eaten food isn't acceptable? Please stop being defensive; you aren't helping your stance. - NewTestLeper79 talk 18:49, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Baby with the bathwater?

message: I just finished an updated expansion of the article (about 26,000 bytes of prose) with info from Wine Grapes. This necessitated splintering off some of the wine regions into their own sections. We now have a pretty significant wall of text in the European wine sections from Italy, Spain/Portugal, Central Europe and Rest of Europe. Any help with illustrating those sections with free-use images will be greatly appreciated. AgneCheese/Wine 04:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
