Cheap wine and a three-day growth

If I was a bottle of wine, how would I stand out on a bottle-shop shelf? What could I do? Varietal isn't going to cut it, people like what they like (and generally aren't adventurous). Regional? Not really.

What if I thought about the effect I have on people? What if drinking me could take you somewhere, if it was a ticket to another place, be that a great, uninhibited conversation, a new idea not previously formed...an unwanted pregnancy?

Regardless, I saw the below the other night and loved it.

When was the last time you saw a wine label that was unforgettable?

    You and I have drunk enough wine over the years to warrant you still writing that post, I look forward to reading it! :)

    I actually speak to a wine label printer account manager on a regular basis.

    Apparently, embossed is all the rage atm.

    And, to answer your question, I saw a remarkable wine bottle a couple of years ago, but you can read about it at http://www.e-cbd.com/zakazukhazoo/remarkable-wine-labels/ :)
