Wine in the United States

Ɱ (talk · contribs) I support the page move, but per your category argument, shouldn't it be "Wine in the United States" rather than "of"? That would allow expansion of the article to further discuss consumption of wine, import of wine, etc.. in addition to just United States wine production.

Perhaps, or perhaps it should be a separate article, especially if/when this article actually becomes decent. It seems an article just focusing on wine produced here is important, as Template:Wine by country has all other countries follow that pattern. (The only other one that now doesn't use a demonym is Wine from the United Kingdom, perhaps because "British" can imply just Britain.)

Also will now match the Commonscat and other language versions.

Okay. Well, all the other major wine producing countries followed the American Wine format, e.g. French Wine, Italian Wine, etc. with the present format as redirects. Not sure what format is best to follow. I understand the possibility of confusion that American could encompass more than just the US, but... hmmm. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but those countries simply don't have ambiguity with those names. That is why the UK and now US use a slightly different format, paralleled by Commons and other language versions.

We should do the same for the French wine, Spanish wine, and Italian wine industries as well. Make it more uniform, Wine of France, Wine of Spain, and Wine of Italy. 2601:8C2:8080:1BC0:4143:A0A1:9658:252F (talk) 03:56, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
