Default Wyeast Nutrient (Brewers vs Vinters)

So I just realized that the Wyeast Nutrient I have been using for the last 5 months is for wine! Now the beer I have brewed since that time has been just fine so I am not concerned in the least bit, but I was curious if there was really any different between the Wyeast Brewer's Nutrient and the Wyeast Vinter's Choice Nutrient? Is this a stupid question?

According to their website the descriptions are identical http://www.wyeastlab.com/hb_products.cfm. I doubt there is any substantial difference other than the label on the package. Yeast is yeast.

Weird, my Wyeast nutrient is generic, and has dosing info for beer and wine that's slightly different (but beer has a LOT of nitrogen in it so that's probably why).
