This is an interesting statement mainly because the flavor would be very much
wrong, sort of foxy tasting, if Lambrusco based wines are used. These wines
are not at all like anything available in the Middle Ages and their use would
produce a product which would not have tasted like anything  they would have
ever tasted in the MA leading me to express the opinion that a careful
selection of wine type would be very much a criteria for an entry into an A &
S competition. Type of wine (e.g. grape variety) would play a very large part
of the criteria of judging such an entry.

BTW, a 'foxy' taste is considered to be a 'bad' trait if it is detected in
wines, which is why varieties like Niagra and other Lambrusco types are
continuously being improved.
