Category:Wines
In both Wikipedia and Wiktionary there is confusion from the creation of categories for both Category:Wines and Category:Wine. Having 2 categories is a duplication, and the same confusion has resulted (in Wikipedia), for example, where we have w:Category:Wines by country and w:Category:Wine by country.

Taking a closer look at say w:Category:French wines and w:Category:French wine we see that many of the pages are listed on both eg. Argant. Why?

The comment that Wine is about wine making and that wines is about the varieties of wine, doesn't really make sense given the encyclopedic nature of the pages that cover a wide spectrum of information. So, we have a page on the Duras (grape) variety at both w:Category:French wines, and on w:Category:French wine. This is absurd nonsense! I have tried to tidy up the categories, but there are too many pages that point to either one or the other, or both.

It is important to be consistent, as there are also similar categories on Wikimedia, and Wines is a sister project — see: commons:Category:Wine. -- Pkravchenko (talk) 02:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
