Never drank this kind of wine before, but that the labels are fun and flashy. What other labels stand out? Cheating if you say Petrus or something.

    They all look like different chili sauce labels tbh

    I actually just tasted those and they were some of the worst wines I’ve ever had

    I think my favorite labels are still Peter Wetzer‘s. They have a great balance of classic look with a twist.

    But then even labels that I don’t like can feel iconic because of the wine. One that immediately comes to mind is Werlitsch. Everything about that label is horrible to me. It looks like low effort organic hand cream you can buy at a farmers market in a village in the middle of nowhere. Or rather anywhere, because it is so generic.

    Either super mysterious/minimal and eye-catching (Sine Qua Non, William Downie, Turtle Rock, Prieure Roch) or super Gothic vampire shit (Hudelot-Noellat, Fourrier, Rousseau, Raen)

    I think alheit vineyards has amazing labels. And more importantly the wine is amazing too.

    I’d actually prefer to see a combination of traditional, old-world labels (that reliably state the varietal, region, and year) **and** a trend I’ve seen mostly in American labels to present an artistic illustration that goes well beyond traditional, ornamental text and an ornate seal.

    Call me a sucker for marketing, but sometimes those graphic illustrations are compelling and with talented design, they match the style well. However, I’m tired of having to turn to the back of the bottle to figure out what’s actually in it.

    Although it may not be a perfect example, Opus One combines the two approaches to the front label.

    I’ve seen these bottles around at whole foods in the US. I never bought them. TBH I don’t see many people buying wine at WF in general

    I live in Sicily and I would never buy a wine with a label like that. It’s tourist trap merch.
