[support] How can I duplicate fields in one content type?

I'm not sure what this means. I was thinking that maybe they would get that
having each wine as a separate entry (content type) would eventually give
them a nifty database they could do other stuff with. Then I'd make a view
that would automatically show the 12 most recent ones. Otherwise I could
just make a content type with wine name 1, wine vintage 1, wine name 2, wine
vintage 2, etc. but that seems cumbersome.

Are you saying that the 12 wine content nodes could be also input through
one form, and then show up as one node, or one view?
