However you should not give up on Alsace, Tom, because it is one of the main producing regions where some producers are trying to provide help, albeit inconsistently from one producer to another.
A body called something like the International Riesling Foundation proposed a scale some years ago but nobody, at least in Europe, seems to use it. This proposal seemed to me to address well the issue of sugar/acid balance which affects subjective impressions. It beats me why there is such reluctance on the part of producers to tackle this problem which is driving so many consumers away because of uncertainty about what they will find in the bottle.
