Wine Bottle Labels Really Do Matter
If you drink wine regularly, you may not be too concerned with the wine bottle label. You're probably more concerned with the taste and quality of your drink than anything else.
Despite all of this, there are many reasons that labels on wine bottles do matter. Not only can they add to the visual appeal of a bottle of wine, but they can be very entertaining at the same time. From a business point of view, they could easily attract attention to a bottle that may not have otherwise been noticed.
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.
There have been plenty of funny and creative wine bottle labels during recent years, and the number of them continues to increase since makers acknowledge the fact that the right label can and will boost sales. Here are two that I've really enjoyed.
The first wine bottle with a funny label that comes to mind is "Frog's Piss" red wine, which comes from a French maker with an obvious sense of humor.
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!
