An important role is played by the filter-selector *, which is most convenient to use inside the section of interest. In addition to being used for its intended purpose, for selection, it is the main source of reference information. Expanding it, you will see a list of entities associated with the section: for example, for a country - what appellations it has, for an appellation - what grape varieties are used in it and what styles of wines. And also vice versa: in the section of one or another grape variety in the filter, you can see where it is grown, etc. Everything is connected to everything. Therefore, the advice is to work with the site as a reference book, go as deep as possible into the sections and use the filter.
