  Praline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Praline is a sweet food made from a mixture of nuts and boiled sugar, eaten as a confection or more commonly, as an ingredient in other confections.
As originally invented in France, pralines were whole almonds coated in caramelized sugar, but in most other countries the word has since come to mean a smooth paste or powder made by grinding up such sugar-coated nuts.
The praline (originally spelled prasline) is named after the French soldier and diplomat Marshal du Plessis-Praslin (1598-1675), whose cook invented it.

However, the San Antonio judges, who actually must pass rather severe tests to become certified home wine judges, correctly recognized that any wine calling itself "praline" must necessarily possess a brownish hue to be correct to the description.
It would also be helpful to the competition if the student judges knew how to recognize the olefactory and gustatory evidence of oxidation -- a known chemical state that should not be too difficult to recognize.
