vanishedone commented on the word meritage
The Lexicographer's Rules: 'A decade or two ago, the Meritage Association of Napa valley created the “Meritage�?name so that they could label what are blended table wines as something other than, well, “table wine.�?
'The conventional wisdom about wines says that blended wines — those made from more than one kind of grape, like table wines — tend to be inferior, or at the very least too variable to be counted on from bottle to bottle, from case to case, or from year to year.
...
'To be a meritage wine, there are specifications as to the types of grapes that must be included (at least two of the grapes used in red wine from Bordeaux), and a vintner must be admitted officially as a member to use the name, which is jealously guarded.'
