	EncycloWine: Encyclopedia for Wine Enthusiasts - Shiraz
		It is believed that the name of the grape Shiraz was taken from that of the city of Shiraz, Iran, where the process of winemaking is believed to have originated 7000 years ago.
		Shiraz has been widely used as a blending grape in the red wines of many countries due to its fleshy fruit mid-palate, balancing the weaknesses of other varieties and resulting in a "complete" wine.
		Shiraz is also used to make the unique "sparkling Shiraz," a deep-red sparkling wine which also ages well.
