T for 2?[edit]

I know spelling was fairly erratic back then, but Merret with one t seems to be the version most commonly used, and is used by eg this paper published by the Royal Society in 2000, and Ridgeview in their eponymous wine, so I've moved from Merrett to Merret.

Having rewritten this, I'm even more confused, but 'tt' seems to be the traditional spelling, used for instance as the primary spelling by the Royal Society, whereas modern usage seems to be 't', and that seems to be the version used on his original papers. I don't think you can be definitive on this, but most Wikipedians are likely to see him mentioned in reference to sparkling wine, a context in which the 't' spelling seems most common.

Quality of facts/reference?[edit]

This article makes erroneous claims about what dosage is and the role of Dom Perignon in Champagne history, which begs the question: is the role of Christopher Merret correctly described? Tomas e (talk) 02:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
