Shiraz/Syrah inconsistency between wine label and CT - 2/2/2022 7:22:06 PM

Not sure if CT has a particular stance on Shiraz vs Syrah, but I found two Australian wines whose CT categorisation is inconsistent:

https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=2173355

You can see in the wines' images that both wines are labelled "Syrah", but the top wine is categorised in CT as Syrah while the bottom one is categorised and named Shiraz. I'd suggest the bottom one be re-categorised and renamed to "Syrah" to match the wine label.

In both cases, the wine was labelled Shiraz in the past and changed to Syrah at some point. In those cases, it will be dependent on when it first was entered which form it gets. We do have a weekly scan to catch dupes in these cases.

For these wines, I fixed them so that they display the form the they used on the label at that time and are linked across the change.

Thanks for the report!
