It is really frustrating when I see articles such as this which is trying to compare a naturally variable product that changes with the forage available at the time to a product that is consistent such as wine.

Wine is perhaps not the best example to choose as it will vary from year to year and from location to location. An exception is non-vintage champagne, where the larger champagne houses keep a large stock of wines to blend with the idea of creating a consistent product.

How can a jar with that inside it be called honey!
Oligosaccharides come under the non sugar carbohydrates umbrella. AFAIK for the purposes of nutrition labels anything that is not a monosaccharide (glucose or fructose) counts as an oligosaccharide. Trehalose, a disaccharide of two glucose monomers, is one of them. The presence/absence of oligosaccharides is useful in honey authentication as they are absent in sugar syrups. Additionally, there are some present in honeydew that are not found in blossom honey.
 
Too complicated, just get your honey from a human who says this jar/container only contains honey produced by my bees. Simples. I know that is not real life , but come on, fraud on this scale only serves to demonstrate that big name stores and brands can no longer be trusted. At some point this has to bite them in the derrier
