Article needs geography, history and producers sections, as well as photos. I've taken it as far as I can at the moment. mikaul 10:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

How do folks feel about moving the article to Venetian wine to be more consistent with other regional wine articles like Languedoc wine, Italian wine, French wine etc? Agne^Cheese/^Wine 10:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me Agne, I never liked the name and didn't realise it was synonymous. mikaul 01:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Venetian implies belonging to Venice the city, the adjective from Veneto is Venetan (see eg

[1] )In fact unlike the country articles, a lot of the regional articles don't try to make an adjective - Alsace wine, Chablis (wine) and so on, so I would go for Veneto wine. Although the approved Wikipedia style is "X of Y" FlagSteward 09:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

If I remember right, I adapted an earlier article with this name and I have no fondness for it's present form. Veneto is certainly right (see the article) for regional produce and apart fom being consistent with other wine articles, Veneto wine sounds better. mikaul^talk 10:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
