Wine Kits Have New Names

If you buy a White Bordeaux wine kit it's still white but it isn't bordeaux anymore!

After a long dragged out battle with INAO, wine kit manufacturers have finally succumbed to the demands of the French wine standards organization. The dispute centered around the fact that Canadian wine kit manufacturers where using French wine names on their wine kits that were protected under international trade agreements. This has been going on for quite a while. The kit manufacturers where forced to change some names about five years but they resisted changing them all. Both sides have now come to an agreement and the CHWTA have released new trademark names to replace all of the French names. The table below is a complete list of all the old names and the new CHWTA trademark names that are replacing them.
