Old World wines are usually named after the region in which they were grown, while New World wines are usually named after the sole or principal grape in the bottle.
New World Wine Names In the majority of New World wine regions, the winemakers choose to name their wines after the sole or principal grape varietal that has gone into creating it.
This would even be true if the wine wasn’t made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, if the grape is in the majority, most New World winemakers would still call the wine Cabernet Sauvignon.
For example, a wine made in the Bordeaux region of France might contain 70% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, giving it the name Cabernet Sauvignon in the New World, however because the wine has been made in the Old World it is called Bordeaux.
The reason wineries from the Old World name their wines after regions is because Old World winemakers tend to feel that the location where the wine was made has as much, if not more, to do with how the wine will taste as the grapes characteristics do.

Gaucho, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink
food desserts
Stick with steak at Edinburgh's Gaucho or you might be disappointed, says Gaby Soutar I need to invest in some night vision goggles.
This featured three petite helpings, and we all liked our bites of limey tuna ceviche, with cola-cube coloured pieces of fish and a bolster of creamy guacamole, while the soft shell crab causita featured a couple of tempura battered limbs, a dollop of smoked paprika mayonnaise, parsley vinaigrette and, on the side, a stub of what tasted and looked a lot like cold mashed potato.
When it came to mains, I wish one of us had tried their steak, but some bad ordering meant the closest we got was the lomo a la Milanese (£19.95).
Well, apart from the half lemon that came with my option, which featured two insole-sized pieces of dry and fibrous “tenderised fillet steak”.
Our grilled swordfish steak (£21.95) was OK, though a little grey and overdone, and came with a pleasant crushed and smoked chickpea mixture, as well as a pointless pyre of chopped raw red onion.

It’s all about relaxed dining, starting with ‘Daybreak’ dishes then ‘Bowls’, ‘Po’ Boy’s’, ‘Salads’, ‘Substantial Stuff’ and ‘Extras’, should you need them.
We opted for dishes from the Substantial Stuff section (£7.50-14) – there’s no starters as such, but you can dip into other parts of the menu should you need a nibble before the main course.
Our 6oz rump steak arrived rare as ordered, with beet slaw and potato rosti; it was full of flavour and cooked as well as anywhere we’ve eaten steak in Edinburgh.
Hip and cool, as you’d expect from a shipping container conversion, and exactly what Edinburgh needs right now.
The history of the building itself makes for great conversation – the shipping container makes up part of the dining room, with tables and chairs inside.
