I can not tell you if it is safe to drink. But I can tell you it's probably only a poor translation.
I've had many a Russian merlo or merlow too. Don't judge the wine by the label.

Eh, Russia does have a tradition of
producing alcohol (fermented or distilled); vast majority of Egyptians follow a religion which
prohibits it. I don't think I would take an imitation made in a non-wine-producing country.
