Error Code: 1442. Can't update table tablename in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function

I created a simple table 'ArgentinianWines' w/5 fields and one primary key. I loaded the table w/10 records using'LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:\ArgentineWines.csv'. No problem so far. Then a Store Procedure was created and executed perfectly, as follows:

DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS Sakila.Trigger_Before_An_ArgentineWines_update;
CREATE TRIGGER Trigger_Before_An_ArgentineWines_update
BEFORE UPDATE ON ArgentineWines
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO ArgentineWines
SET action = 'update',
RankingId = OLD.RankingId,
WineName = OLD.WineName,
Description = OLD.Description,
RecordDate = NOW();

The problem rises when I try to test out the trigger by making a change to the table. I attempted to update the table in two different ways

-----------1st attempt:--------------
Use Sakila;
UPDATE ArgentineWines
SET WineName = REPLACE(WineName,'GRAFFIGNA RESERVE','GRAFFIGNA RESERVE Grandiose')
WHERE RankingId = 6;

-----------2nd attempt:--------------
Use Sakila;
UPDATE ArgentineWines
SET WineName = 'GRAFFIGNA RESERVE Grandiose'
WHERE RankingId = 6;


No matter what I try, it generates this error: "Error Code: 1442. Can't update table 'argentinewines' in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger."

But which other statement is invoking my store procedure?
What is already using what?
The error description is not that clear.

Please, any thoughts or a solution to this mystery will be great.
