Vignes d'Une Agence de Mise en Bouteilles

Translation: Vines of One Bottling Agency
At some point, this may be a guild. Until then, it's a loose coalition of growers attempting to band together to make great wines that may or may not span the Egyptian nation. Anyone is free to contribute grapes to batches, which will be aged and distributed according to mutual agreement.

Vignes d'Une Nomenclature

Each block of vineyards is assigned a name. Each bottle will be labeled Vignes d'Une, followed by the names of contributing vineyards, the number of vines involved, and a descriptor. Each descriptor will give you some important information - while this isn't technically the right way to name wines, it's fun, unique, and at least interesting. Oh, and it's totally pidgin French. If you have any recommendations on complicating the nomenclature, send me a /chat in-game or go to this page's talk page. Thanks.
