Supposedly a concept in wine cultivation. I am skeptical about whether it exists (WP:V), at least in English. Searches for the term result in texts about wine in the context of human caste systems. The article is tagged as unsourced since 2015, and sourced only to a broken link to a Portuguese website. Sandstein 09:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Changing my vote in light of what follows. Draftify I've never come across this term, but from the article's description (such as it is — I've read it three times now, and still not sure what it's trying to say!) it could just mean grape variety, in which case 'caste' may be a regional term or simply a mis-translation. And since the one and only 'reference' doesn't seem to work, that's no help either. While waiting for an oenology expert to come along, perhaps we should draftify this, to give the creating editor an opportunity to work on it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:40, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yep, looks like this 'caste' does mean variety: the English article List of grape varieties links to the Portuguese one titled 'Lista de castas de uvas' (uva meaning grape, at least in Italian and Spanish). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:18, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a mistranslation. Agree with DoubleGrazing, per this and lista de castas de uvas. Would note that the only reference in the article is in Portuguese. (It's a dead link now—I think the first link I included is what it became). AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:22, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Searches for Oneology and Caste produce results similar to varna (caste) in India. Whiteguru (talk) 08:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
