 * I think it's fine. Article significantly expanded (more than 5X), with decent hook. Too bad Sauvignon blanc will likely never get expanded enough to have a DYK on the origin of the "cat pee" quality described in wine tasting! ~Amatulić (talk) 06:49, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Minor request- It's not a huge thing and certainly not worth creating a special holding section, but May 23rd will be International Chardonnay Day. It's mainly just a wine blogger and twitter event but it would be nice if this ran on the 23rd, preferably in the US timezone. Again, not a biggie if it doesn't play out.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approved for 23 May Article new enough, long enough. Hook verified against p. 139 of quoted academic paper on "Effect of wine type on the detection threshold for diacetyl". QPQ done. Article fully fermented, I mean referenced. Image appropriately licensed. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
