Blending bends the rules too far

Article Abstract:

Current law only requires 85% of a wine be from the appellation specified on the bottle, while 15% may come from elsewhere. Some vintners have taken advantage of this, charging consumers higher prices for wines not labelled as blended. One solution would be for vintners to adopt a 100% rule which would guarantee a wine is entirely from the indicated appellation.
