manhattan 第五版 SC chapter6 第6题

6. People that are well-informed know that Bordeaux is a French region whose most famous export is the wine which bears its name.
That are well-informed: INCORRECT. This clause uses the relative pronoun that to refer to people. Who must refer to human beings. Another problem with that are well-informed is that it is
wordy. Avoid relative clauses whose only verb is a form of to be, because they can generally be expressed more succinctly.
Whose most famous... bears its name: CORRECT. This clause modifies region. Notice that whose, unlike who and whom, can correctly modify non-human entities.
Which bears its name: INCORRECT. The context of this sentence calls for an essential clause to modify the wine, since the point of the clause is to identify the wine. If the sentence ended
with the wine, it would be incomplete. The clause should therefore begin with that rather than which.


最后这个which换成that的用法没看明白，是说可有可无的时候用which, 比较重要的用that么？貌似没这语法点吧？求高人指点！

我清醒了下我又好像懂了。manhattan里面chapter6 有这样一条：
Use WHICH (and commas) if the modifier is non-essential
Use  THAI (and  no commas) if the  modifier  is essential
在这里，是’bear its names ‘把这个most famous export区别出来的。是essential的。 不是说：最出名的出口商品是酒，而是最出口的商品是带有wine名字的物品？ 是这样理解的吗？

咋才看到消息提醒，晕，因为想强调哪儿的酒吧，重点是所属性而不是地理位置

这个消息提醒功能也太不醒目了。。。。。。。恩，对，就是essential与否的区别！

这里仔细看了下 稍微清晰了
注意这里用的是THE wine，这种酒，哪种酒，以波尔多命名的酒，很明显就是限定修饰了，所以得用that修饰the wine。
如果这里用非限定修饰，句意就不完整，因为非限定只起到解释说明的作用，没有限定是哪种wine
当然按照GMAT惯例，that用于限定修饰，which用于非限定修饰
这个地方整顺了，限定非限定这块会清晰很多

如果理解有错请指正
