Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What % of a certain grape must a wine be in Europe to be listed as that particul),it will help you,my kids.

Australia, also. Need to know for work. Also, I do know that it's 75% in the U.S. and 90% in Italy, but France and Australia I'm clueless about.

Answer:
In the EU is 85% of the named variety as a minimum, but many European wine areas have a higher limit under their own wine laws.

Also, many European wine areas do not label their wines under a grape variety while being in fact a 100% varietal wine - example is Burgundy.

US, and other countries varietal wines that are exported to the EU must be 85% of the named variety.

The 75% amount for US wines you mention applies to vinifera wines, for local native varieties, such as Concord, it is just 51% of that variety. That 75% is a Federal minimum, and some states have a higher minimum, such as Washington with 95% and California with 85%.

If you buy a Cabernet Sauvignon varietal and only 75% is Cabernet, it is a bit like ordering an 8oz filet mignon in a resaturant and getting 6oz mignon and 2oz Spam.
61%.
I believe it is the same in all EEC countries; Australia I don't know.
