Please explain the conditions under which the name of the wine would be more meaningful than the actual effect of that wine for your current ascension.
I have never, ever looked at any effect name other than "great" before.
When you're looking for the wines in the Cellar, they don't drop and show their effect name, they drop and show the dusty wine name. So I have to keep checking which ones are which.
The way I would presume most people do the Cellar is in that kind of manner. Look at which wines you need to drop, kill a monster or two, see which wines dropped, and there you go.
What I end up doing is:
1. mousing over the effect of the wine I need to reveal the name.
2. going into the area, getting a couple wines to drop.
3. going back to the container document, mousing over the effect of the wines I still need, to see which one I have to wait to drop.
4. choose a new area if I need to go to a new area.
I don't care at all about the effect, I care about which wine it is, because that's what needs to go into the fountain thingy. The effect does not matter at all from an ascension standpoint [other than possibly Great], the name does, for the pouring order. Okay, maybe the effect matches the glyph, but who wants to keep clicking to check glyphs and match those up? What you really want to know is the name of the wine, when it drops from sommeliers or wine racks. You'd have to click in there to check the effect, or you'd have to go back out to the container document, mouse over the effect of each to find the right names.
Mafia even kindly shows you which order the Name of the wines that need to go into the fountain are. It doesn't show you the effect in any spot other than the container document, which always seemed weird to me. I actually didn't know why it used those effect names until like a month ago. Thought it was just quirky mafia being quirky mafia.
I suppose that another option would be to rename the dusty bottles in a similar manner to DoD potions. like.. "dusty bottle of Merlot [great]" so that when consuming them, you don't have to keep checking.
In short: I basically never pay attention to the effects, as I'd imagine a lot of people don't, except when drinking the Glyph #4 wine.
