oo often wine is taken much too seriously. But its is difficult to keep a straight face when these labels are on the bottle.. Thank goodness!
Enjoy the following....
Ideal with Friends |
Tolna Hungary |
Oh, dear. Supermarkets are falling over themselves to bring out wines with names such as 'Good with Chinese', 'Great with Chicken' and so on, but the crass illustration singles out this own label from the otherwise excellent Morrisons chain for inclusion on this site.
The wine was pretty good for the price - a zingy refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and the only thing stopping me from serving it to my friends is the cringing label!

Dynamite Carmenet Winery |
Sonoma California |
Another great label with bears. They use dynamite at Carmenet to gouge paths out of the solid mountain rock, and have to chase out bears who crash the fences to get at ripe Cabernet grapes. The label refers to this, and also to more heavenly events. This is the 1997 vintage - the year the Hale-Bop comet blazed through the skies over California during an eclipse of the moon. Notice the drunk bear asleep under the vines at the left.

Les Amoureux

Saint Amour
France

|
A charming and appropriate label from cartoonist Peynet for this bottle of Beaujolais from the Saint Amour appellation.
Many thanks to Angelo Musanti in Genova, Italy for posting this label to me.
