thread_title:  CAO 

message: At present the article says that production of this wine was encouraged by 'tax breaks'. The context here puts these 'tax breaks' as originating perhaps as early as the mid-ninth century, extending past the 12th century and up to perhaps 1788. The wines may have been exempted from feudal duties of various kinds, but to use the modern term 'tax break' is ahistoric. I'd be interested to know how Portugal got tax revenues from wines in the middle ages. By the 17th and 18th centuries in France wine was one of the most heavily taxed commodities, largely through the imposition of 'aides' and 'octrois'. Was the Portuguese system similar?Thomas Peardew (talk) 15:27, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: First Sentence

message: I've removed the VIVC reference  from the Synonyms section as there are several listed on that page which have been proven wrong (of immediate concern is that Pošip is not a synonym of Furmint).  Let's rebuild the Synonym list from a source that doesn't lump every smaller production white wine grape as being Furmint. Primecoordinator (talk) 02:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Vitis International Variety Catalogue is the prime international ampelographic database, and you have not given any references to the claim that it is wrong. Wikipedia is built on reliable sources. You seem to have misunderstood the fact that there are many overlapping synonyms for grape varieties. Pošip (alone or followed by a suffix) is the synonym or proper name of several grape varieties. If there is a risk of misunderstanding on the part of the reader in some cases, this can of course be pointed out in the list. E.g. "(also a synonym of...)" or "(also the proper name of a grape variety)". Tomas e (talk) 13:26, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, it may be a valued resource, but you've misunderstood how grape names change via language and regional shifts.  While Žilavka is listed  it's also the case that it's shown here  having no relation to Furmint.  And, if you do a search on "posip" (VIVC doesn't appear to support diacritics which is just dumb) you see that sure, if can be Furmint, but it can also be any number of other wines including separate wines in Italy and former Yugoslavia that have nothing to do with the Hungarian grape.  This synonym list is garbage as it is and needs to be honed down to a core list that is verified and country-typed as due to this being WP, people quote this source without understanding just how inaccurate it is.  I'm pulling the list again until a properly constructed list is created that qualified each of these synonyms instead of just lumping them all in to a "pile of white grapes" group. Primecoordinator (talk) 23:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Also note that grape varieties are commonly misidentified as other varieties and have been throughout history. While Žilavka and Pošip bijeli are separate grape varieties, reliable sources like Wine Grapes note that they are commonly mistaken for Furmint. So we should still keep those varieties listed in the synonym section of Furmint (and ideally in text in the Confusion with other grapes section) but with the names redirected to the main article on the grapes varieties themselves and a dab link or text comment about Furmint.

Anselmocisneros 20:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cava War 

message: 'Cava' is also Latin for 'cave', which may better illustrate the origin of the name; the Catalan language is heavily infuenced by Latin and cava is & was traditionally matured in caves, rather than cellars. 
*Well, it is not exactly that Catalan is "heavily influenced by Latin" but rather that, as any other Romance language, directly descends from it. English, on the other hand, and being a Germanic language, is indeed highly  influenced by old French and Latin.
Also worth noting that the internal link for the Penedes wine region is to the Alt Penedes comarca. As no page exists for the (relatively famous) Penedes wine producers, I'll create one and edit the link.--mikaul 14:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Macabeo

message: This is originally a grape from Valencia and has the Catalan/Valenciano name of Macabeu.  Macabeo is the more commonly known varietal name, so why is this listed as Viura?  If this is based on that damnable VIVC site, then that's wrong, wrong, wrong.  I've found that reference to be inaccurate on many, many occasions and it should be mandatory that anyone who uses that as a reference has it certified by another source as well that isn't based on VIVC.  For the love of all that's holy, the entry for "Viura" lists Xarel·lo as a synonym for the grape!!!  Also Ugni Blanc which is Trebbiano!!!  Those are completely different white grapes!

thread_title:  Similar 

message: I feel that this article frequently confuses Prosecco the grape, Prosecco the DOC(G), and Prosecco the sparkling wine, and talks about the sparkling wine as if that's all there is to it. IMO, either the article needs to be restructured to clearly distinguish between the sparkling wine and the rest, or it could even be split into separate articles [Prosecco (sparkling wine)] and [Prosecco], with the latter containing much of what this article currently has, minus the sparkling wine content (other than a short mention and a 'See also' and/or 'Main article' link). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:26, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this article is muddled. I'm not sure that splitting it will help though - Prosecco (the town) and Prosecco (the grape) are already separate articles, which the articles should perhaps make better use of. Almost all "Prosecco" is sparkling wine, and almost all of it is from the Prosecco DOC region (and DOCG subregions) in Italy. What this article does not cover, and needs to, is the fairly important scandal created in 2009 when Italian law renamed what (up until then) was known as the "Prosecco" grape variety to "Glera", meaning that other countries growing it (most notably Australia and California) were no longer able to use the word "Prosecco" on their wine labels. This was widely viewed as a somewhat under-handed move, during the scramble to promote as many wine regions to DOC and DOCG (DOP) as possible before the 2011 EU law reform deadline. Perhaps a disambiguation page is in order, since we have a town, a wine, a grape variety (controversially) and a DOC region. Jon (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
