Just read it to yourself. In your head.

I get that, but so what. The letters are an abbreviation of something. So what that it makes the sound of a word that is derogatory.

Yes, true. But search engines, and search algorithms, are what I'm thinking of.

Our normal abreviation syntax is pyyyys where p=producer, y=year and s=style - an example being W1994LBV. We would not use WLBV1994 so would not use the rather worryingly googlable suggestion above, not because it has potentially undesirable consequences but because it does not follow our standard syntax.

Do we have any nominally defined abbreviations for crusted and colheita? I would have used:
G98crusted
W86lbv
K84colheita
Ni77garrafeira (with garrafeira spelled/spelt(?) correctly)
