Problem
The place name Dealu Mare - a wine region - what does it mean?

Answer
I can't find a translation for Dealu. However Mare means great.

It reminded me other members of the family of mer which is French for sea. No, it is not sea.

I also wondered about apples. No, it is not apples. Here are the translations below.
