We agreed some time ago with the EEC, NOT to call wines claret, burgundy, white burgundy, champagne, and etc. because the Frogs apparently OWN those words.
We have a national system of controls which also involves the State Governments.
Being a fairly inventive mob with words we have come up, as you have noted, with lots of names! Dry red, Soft dry red, and on up to Suckfizzle.
A LOT of such brand names are only used in export markets, and may even be specific to particular regions or countries.
Identifying the grape variety/ies in a particular wine, is common , but IIRC it is NOT compulsory.
The click-on down at the bottom is not a bad start as an overview.
This is a list of different sets of information.
