## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- A tour called 'Chianti wine tour' does not always taste in the Chianti Classico zone: some Florence half days visit estates near San Gimignano.
- Half-day coach tours serve snacks with the wine, not lunch.
- The Siena, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni day tour includes one winery with 2 to 3 wines; lunch and Siena cathedral tickets are extra.
- Chianti and Chianti Classico are separate DOCGs (since 1996) with different rules; only Classico carries the black rooster.
