To my knowledge, Shiraz is a term coined in Australia and only bottles
from there will say "Shiraz". Are there, in fact, other countries using
the term "Shiraz" on their bottles?

By the way, I had a bottle of Possum's Shiraz 2001 the other day. Well
worth the $14!!!

Thank you,

It's my understanding that the Shiraz grape is named after Shiraz, Iran.
