A very popular blend in Australia-particularly from South Australia, where the two varietals work well together. The most famous of these would be the Penfolds Bin 389, considered Australia's most cellared wine. In years gone by this was referred to as "Baby Grange" as some of the wine used barrels from the vintage of Grange.

A Nerello Mascalese é uma variedade de uva tinta amplamente cultivada nas encostas vulcânicas do Monte Etna, na Sicília. Os vinhos elaborados a partir da Nerello Mascalese receberam ampla notoriedade na última década, são exemplares frescos, com aromas frutados e herbáceos, bem como excelente mineralidade e uma nuance terrosa. Além disso, os vinhos Nerello Mascalese têm um perfume semelhantes com os vinhos nobres de Borgonha e Barolo.

A variedade recebeu esse nome devido a planície de Mascali, entre o Monte Etna e a costa onde acredita-se ser sua terra natal – uma pequena porção de vinhas que restou após o ataque da filoxera na década de 1880. O prefixo Nerello refere-se à coloração escura das uvas, compartilhado também pela casta Nerello Cappuccio, parceiro de mistura mais comum da variedade. Ambas são encontradas nos vinhos produzidos na denominação de origem de Etna, onde a uva Nerello Mascalese representa a maior parte da mistura e é cultivada em maiores quantidades do que a Cappuccio.

Os solos compostos por materiais vulcânicos de Etna combinados com altitudes que chegam a até 1.000 metros – alguns dos vinhedos mais altos da Europa – ajudam a produzir vinhos com caráter e complexidade imensa, sem o peso excessivo característico dos vinhos tintos da Sicília.

As vinhas da Nerello Mascalese é uma variedade de maturação tardia e dominam também a DOC Faro, em torno da cidade de Messina. Situada nas colinas acima da cidade, as videiras cultivadas em Faro alcançam altitudes impressionantes, contribuindo para a elaboração de vinhos com características singulares.

Fora de Etna e de Faro, a uva Nerello Mascalese é utilizada em misturas nos vinhos rotulados como Sicília IGT, ao lado da variedade dominante da ilha, a Nero d’Avola. Estes vinhos são produzidos nas versões tintas, mas exemplares rosés também são encontrados. Na Calábria, as denominações de Lamezia, Savuto e Sant’Anna di Isolia Capo Rizzuto também permitem o uso da Nerello Mascalese para o uso em vinhos de corte.

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.

Rice is the core ingredient to Sake, which is a rice wine of Japanese origin. To create Sake, the rice is "polished", removing some amount of its tough outer layers to reveal the neutral flavour of the grain. Once milled, the rice is brewed (like beer), converting the starch from the rice into sugars that can then ferment and become alcohol.

Sake can be more narrowly identified using special designations. These can refer to specific ingredients, rice polishing ratios (amount of rice discarded through milling), and general flavour profile (dry vs sweet). While sakes with the same designation often taste similar, there are plenty of exceptions in each category.

Some common sake designations include:
* Junmai Daiginjo - at least 50% of rice polished away (the highest commonly-accepted rice polishing ratio of any common designation).
* Diaginjo - similar to Jumnai Daiginjo, but with alcohol added by the brewers early in the process to adjust the flavour of the final product.
* Junmai Ginjo - at least 40% of the rice polished away.
* Ginjo - Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but with alcohol added by the brewers early in the process to adjust the flavour of the final product.
* Nama - unpasteurised sake, referring to the process used to kill off bacteria and stabilise the brew. Nama sake is pasteurised only once, or sometimes not at all.

Tempranillo is the backbone of wines made ihvhhcn the best well-known Spanish regions Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but is also grown as far afield as Mexico and Australia.

As a flavor profile, red fruits like strawberries and cherries can predominate - but with a rustic edge. The Many wines made from Tempranillo will spend a few years in barrel and bottle before reaching the consumers . Many Tempranillo-based wines see a few years of oak - add that to a few years of bottle and the wine can give a subtle - and occasionaly not-so-subtle - leathery mouthfeel. The combination of the tart fruit and tannins make this wine very food friendly.

Merlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.

Piedirosso is an ancient, black-skinned grape variety found throughout Campania, Italy.

Single-variety wines made from Piedirosso tend to be deep ruby in color and full bodied with soft tannins. Typical flavors in these wines include plum, cherry and brambly wild berry fruit. More complex characteristics such as espresso, mushroom and damp earth are exhibited in the better examples.

A minerally, almost salty characteristic can be found in many Piedirosso wines. This can in part be attributed to the volcanic soils in which the grape thrives.
