    Fun idea! My two suggestions are maybe abit obvious, but I thought something related to your CT handle might be neat...

    Ajax's Mighty Red

    Trojan Folly

    Haha love it. I still remember when I had just started collecting and I got a hemidrachm from Lokrii and you corrected me that it was not Ajax the Great but Ajax the Lesser. Mum still wont take to calling him the lesser

    I was raised on a pinch of wine at dinner daily, YUK would be a perfect name in my opinion. Haven't touched the stuff since I was old enough to say no thank you to my parents.

    Justin Lee I learn by doing

    What about "XXIII" with two daggars (a la Eid Mar) flanking the numerals.... Pinots tend to be dark, shadowy, and moody, right? Just like those that drink it (as compared to those who just drink merlot).

    I agree with @zumbly , not trying to be NON-Creative here, but using your Avatar (if you use it a lot), reflects not only you, but a great period in History.

    LOL, my first batch of Beer I made back in the early 80's was named for my newborn 1st Daughter: Katie-Beth Beer... :)

    well, being almost 40 years ago, I would say it was the BEST BEER on the planet... LOL, that is how I remember it! :)

    Actually, it was not bad... I could knock-off Beck's pretty well at that time. :)

    LOL, that was the motivator, at my young age, to knock it off! :) But, it was a hobby too.

    Rosso Stallone "Red Stallion" and I would use your Coin from Pharsalos on the label.

    I LOVE Pinot Noir! Certainly if the vintage is old enough, say between 431-404 BCE, you would want to name it the Pinot-ponnesian N-War.
    Though if you like whites and amazing die engravers, you could have a Pinot Greco. You just need to go grab it from down in your celator. A drink so good the Sicilians would surely have named it Kimon-and-get-it!

    As for a wine name, how about "Quid agatur in taberna"
