Controls on wine quality here in Aussie are a bit of a closed book to me.

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.
