If you drink wine regularly, you may not be too concerned with wine bottle labels. You're probably more concerned with the taste and quality of your drink than anything else.
Still, wine bottle labels can be fun, adding some character to what might otherwise appear to be a generic bottle of wine. If you're a producer, these can often help to draw the eye to your products, and many will attest to the fact that marketing is just as integral in the world of wines as it is in any other industry.
Labels on wine bottles can give us insight into what it is that we're drinking. Whether these are accomplished through theming (i.e. national branding), colors that may indicate the subtlety or boldness of a wine's flavoring, or simply humor to make us smile, there are many ways that labels will often become associated with a bottle of wine.
Let's take a look at a few of the more interesting wine labels on the market today. With tens of thousands of original wines out there, it would be very hard to cover them all, so surely I'll miss some good ones.
Ca' del Solo wine has a very interesting label that certainly got my attention. This label features an evil-looking tiger with a smirk on his face, with an inscription that reads "Bloody Good White" above it.
The language is bold, as is the choice of animal. Both of these things are sure to get a potential buyer's attention. While I've never tried the wine itself, the label was enough to make it memorable.
This next one has just as much to do with its name as it does with its label, but both are smart branding moves. The wine is called Marilyn Merlot, and the wine bottle labels each feature a different picture of Marilyn Monroe on them.
One could easily call this eye candy, to say the least!
