Although I prefer mine (I am biased) her compact piece has a different take on 2 areas; - that the 182 "new" Italian DOP & IGP designations is incorrect, although no additional information to clarify what is. - That new D.O. & G.I. designations can be ommitted from the label if an existing AOC, DOC etc. is in place (although again, no references, and I did not interperet that from my read of the E.U. regulations). Otherwise it's a good article, as you'd generally expect from Decanter - even if it is a little late!
