Three Muscateers?

Three Musketeers

From the I-didn't-know-that! department:

Muscat, muscadet, muscadelle. All for one and one for all? Hardly. These are three separate creatures encompassing an enormous variety of red, white, sweet, dry and fizzy wines. Similar names _ along with aliases including muscatel, moscato and muskateller _ make it quite a puzzle sorting out just
who's who.
