MySQL REGEXP query - accent insensitive search

Question

I\'m looking to query a database of wine names, many of which contain accents (but not in a uniform way, and so similar wines may be entered with or without accents)

Answer 1

To solve this problem, I tried different things, including using the binary keyword or the latin1 character set but to no avail.
Finally, considering that it is a MySql bug, I ended up replacing the é and è chars,

Like this :

SELECT * 
FROM `table` 
WHERE replace(replace(wine_name, 'é', 'e'), 'è', 'e') REGEXP '[[:<:]]Faugeres[[:>:]]'
