	Muscat
		The Muscat grape is unusual in one respect - it's a grape that tends to give its particular flavour to its wine no matter where it's planted.
		In Italy it makes spumante, in Spain it's one of only three permitted grapes for sherry, in Greece they distil a Muscat wine to make their Metaxa brandy, in Peru they distil Muscat wine to make their national brandy, Pisco, and in Chile and Australia it's widely planted for blending with other whites.
		Using the Muscat grape as part of cepage is fairly common, since even in small proportions it can add body and aroma to what might otherwise be flat and uninteresting wines.
