A
ll over the world wine makers, marketeers and artists are working to provide us with weird labels to catch our eye.
Hair of the Dingo
|
Australia
|
|
Our baggy shorted traveller has reached the land down under. We saw him on our very first page. His travels have taken him to Spain and South Africa and this is another attractive and witty label in this range of inexpensive and very drinkable wines.
|
Flying Pig
|
Sicily
|
|
The wrap around label reads We think you stand more chance of seeing a flying pig than a better wine at this price. This cherry ripe rich red from Sicily is great with cheese meat or on its own . .. at any time
It's an enjoyable keenly priced quaffer.

True Frogs Lily Pad Red
Black Sheep Vintners |
Calaveras County California
|
|
Mark Twain wrote about Calaveras County's frog race, but on this label the only racing is the frogs hearts as their romantic tryst seems to be close to a climax.
Calaveras County is a most attractive part of northern California with rolling hills and oak trees. I tasted this wine at the Black Sheep winery. It's an enjoyable every day drinker.
For another drinking frog see Paddarotti.
