Many thanks for your (as usual) measured, balanced and informative responses.
Certainly I would be happy to see some Muller-Thurgau vineyards (and other vineyards planted with unfortunate crosses, there are a lot of them out there) being re-planted with more interesting vines, even international varietals. I Suppose it is possible that if people see international grape names they recognise on German labels this might draw even more people into trying German wine. That'd be a good thing!
As long as Riesling and Pinot Noir survive, which I am sure they will, I'll be happy.
