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

I have this problem, and went for Álvaro's suggestion above. But in my case, it misses those instances where the search term is the middle word in the string. I went for the equivalent of:

SELECT *
FROM `table`
WHERE wine_name = 'Faugères'
   OR wine_name LIKE 'Faugères %'
   OR wine_name LIKE '% Faugères'
   OR wine_name LIKE '% Faugères %'
