The Commission wants the E.U. to change labeling rules to allow grape names such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon to be printed on all bottles rather than only on wines that are recognized as high quality. And it will call for a budget of $580 million for the 2008-2009 season to reimburse farmers to "grub up," or rip out, 400,000 acres of vines - 6% of the total in the E.U. - that contribute to the surplus...
