Wine Labels Explained
What Do The Labels Mean?
There is a lot of info in the label of a bottle of wine, and if you are not a connoisseur of wine it can be a little overwhelming at very first glance. The majority of wine labels are quite similar though, containing information on the winery where the wine was created, the 'appellation' (the country or region exactly where the grapes that went into the wine were grown), the range (the type of grapes the wine was made from) and the vintage (the year when the grapes had been harvested}. The strength / alcohol content material of the wine is also displayed on the label.
Some additional info might seem based on the country in which the wine was bottled. As an example, wines bottled in the USA are required to have the name and address of the bottler displayed on the label, along with particular consumer warnings. There are also at times some particulars on the ripeness of the grapes, and info about the winery that produced the wine.
