Each popular grape variety has its own aromatic profile, though many (most?) large wine producers tend to homogenize any uniqueness.

When you pay $10 or less for a bottle of wine, the grape variety listed on the front label is probably 75 percent of what’s inside the bottle (by law, it must be at least that amount), but the aroma and flavor don’t always conform.
