On some labels you find words that suggest a single vineyard, but it’s not a particular vineyard. It might be just the name of the wine (Prado Enea), a whole village (Gratallops), a German Großlage (Ingelheimer Kaiserpfalz), a soil type (Silex), or something else that you understand only if you know the language (Alte Reben), or some other term ( 1er Cru). All these might appear in cellartracker as vineyards and consumers in general might think of them as single vineyards. Then they search for them on https://weinlagen-info.de/ and do not find them and are disappointed with weinlagen-info. So I thought of introducing a new entity for these not-really-vineyards to weinlagen-info. Users would find them and receive the information that they are not not really vineyards and what they really are.
Question: how would you call such an entity?
In CellarTracker, that would be called the wines ‘designation’, although occasionally it will get erroneously defined as a vineyard.

A wine name defined by the producer would be a “designation” as well?
That’s the terminology they use at Cellartracker, yes. I think it does no harm if the same term is used somewhere else for similar purposes.
