Stumbling upon some unusual Bulgarians

I was having a wander around a shopping mall opposite the Tsuen Wan Town Hall in the extended meal break between rehearsal and performance later that Sunday evening when I ran across a branch of the chain which sells many Bulgarian wines. I discovered a number of wines which contain grapes I did not seem to have tasted before. There was a blend with Caladoc, and two varietals, Melnik and Bouquet. A quick check with VIVC confirmed these were really grapes that I had not met, but now that I tried to find out more about them, it seems that there is more confusing information, as the grapes involved may have different synonyms, but in the VIVC, there are also separate listings too. This will need a little more time to sort out. On the other hand, these are three more grapes towards my target of 400!
