Shakespeare Reference in Wine Atlas Of Australia

Here is another book that I was not expecting to have a Shakespeare reference. But it does. It’s a reference to a line from Romeo And Juliet, but to the Q1 edition. James Halliday includes this heading in the book’s introduction: “Geographic Indications: Appellation by Any Other Name” (p. 6). The lines in Shakespeare’s play in both the Q2 and Folio editions are “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell as sweet.” But people more often quote the problematic Q1, which repeats the word “name,” thus eliminating the equation Shakespeare is making between a name and a word. Wine Atlas Of Australia was first published in 2006 by Hardie Grant Books. My copy is the hardcover edition published by the University Of California Press in 2007.
