@travelmarcus - they can only list a single varietal if it's at least 85% of the stated variety. So if a label says 'Shiraz', it's at least 85% Shiraz. If it is 60/40 (let's say the 40% is Cab Sauv) like you mentioned, the label would state Shiraz Cabernet, or just wouldn't list the varietals and maybe call it a 'red blend'. Hope this helps!

Thanks!! And the rules are the same all over the world for this?
