If you ever get into French-American hybrid grapes (and to be honest, I don’t recommend it), you’ll encounter a lot of weird names like these. I once had a Chardonel, a cross between Chardonnay and Seyval. I love how it sounds like a Chardonnay knockoff sold in gas stations and sketchy grocery stores.

For a fake one, how about Barbera+Rondinella? That’s right: Barbarella.

Hilarious! I’m a huge fan of Pinot Noir + Gewurztraminer could be Pinominer. I still like Trabec. Fun post!

Since nobody said that these wines had to be drinkable -

Shiraz + Auxerrois = Shirauxerrois (Thanks to Michigan by the Bottle for introducing me to Auxerrois)
Roussanne + Sauvignon Blanc = Roussauvignon Blanc
Lambrusco + Cortese = Lambruscortese (Sounds like an Italian sports car).

How about the most puzzling of all?

Trebbiano + Malbec == Trebec!

Shiraz + Malbec = Shirbec… obviously a dessert wine
Beerenauslese + Sangiovese = Beeriovese… only because it sounds like Beer-ios, the proud breakfast of any self-respecting frat brother.
Riesling + Verdejo = Rieslidejo… because it belongs in a Harry Belafonte sing-a-long: Dey, Rieslidej, Rieslidej, Rieslidejo, daylight come and… well, you get it
