Peter,

Since the users have no preferred approach, I would suggest allowing for 
both "Wines by Country" and "Wines by Type".  If this is a small hierarchy 
the added complexity should not cause much of a problem.

Cheers,

Dave

The reason they do it by color is that people *in a restaurant* usually 
go by color first. After all, they've just ordered a dish, probably meat 
or fish.

In an online store, circumstances are a little different. The user might 
be looking to try one of those Californian wines. Or a wine from Chile, 
those are supposed to be good as well.

Peter
