What's the difference???

There is however a connection. European wines are what they call "Old World" and one of the things about old world is that they would not name the grape variety of their wines, but rather where they came from. Red Bordeaux wines were mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (or at least this is what they are famous for), but not necessarily 100% (mostly blends).
Burgundy, Chablis, Champaign - all names of wine regions
Chardonay, Merlot, Pinot Noir - names of grape varities.
