It is a fascinating concept, for sure. Not only should it appeal to people who like structure in their life, it also would make drinking wine more special. I am not sure if it would work for me though - you would always have to plan ahead and make sure that there is a Merlot at hand when skiing. If it just can be any Merlot I am sure you would be fine, but if it has to be a good wine for each occasion you would have to travel with a large supply to be covered...
Having said that, if you restrict it to special occasions it could work.
