There has been free movement back and forward since 1973. Citizenship hardly matters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Tasman_Travel_Arrangemen...

This is quite incorrect. Of the top 10 planted wine varietals in the world [0], all ten are red grapes to red wine or white grapes to white wine:

Top grape varieties by planted hectares 1. Cabernet Sauvignon - red grape, red wine. 2. Merlot - red grape, red wine. 3. Tempranillo - red grape, red wine. 4. Airén - white grape, white wine. 5. Chardonnay - white grape, white wine. 6. Syrah - red grape, red wine. 7. Grenache Noir - red grape, red wine. 8. Sauvignon Blanc - white grape, white wine. 9. Pinot Noir - red grape, red wine. 10. Trebbiano Toscano / Ugni Blanc - white grape, white wine.

There are some wines which are produced with red grapes which are not left on skins so there is no impartation of red colour, but they are really not common and the result is most of the time a bit closer to a light rose than what would be considered a white wine. Perhaps the only style that would be semi-frequently encountered are some French Blanc de Noirs wines, various champagne examples being the most common of these. (And of course standard champagne itself, but I am not sure if that is really considered a white wine). Still, rare. It is also not possible to produce a red wine with a white grape, there is no colour in the skin to impart.

But that’s your implication the genetic change was widespread enough to effect an entire cultural change. What evidence is there of that?

What do N/S and O/S stand for?

In your example if you have a Spanish car (steering wheel on left hand side of car from driver perspective) driven on UK road (lane on left side of road from driver perspective) then it is still LHD as the left hand refers to the position of the steering wheel relative to the car. This doesn’t change.

Also common in Polynesian cultures - see Faʻafafine from Samoa, Fakaleitī from Tonga, Māhū in Hawaii and Akava'ine in Cook Islands. See also brotherboy and sistergirls which is found across Australian Aboriginal cultures.[4]
