Wine Labels Explained

What Do The Labels Mean?

There is a lot of data in the label of a bottle of wine, and if you aren't a connoisseur of wine it can be a little overwhelming at first glance. The majority of wine labels are fairly related even though, containing details on the winery exactly where the wine was produced, the 'appellation' (the country or region where the grapes that went into the wine had been grown), the variety (the kind of grapes the wine was created from) and the vintage (the year when the grapes were harvested}. The strength / alcohol content material of the wine is also displayed on the label.

Some added data may possibly appear depending on the country in which the wine was bottled. As an example, wines bottled in the USA are necessary to have the name and address of the bottler displayed on the label, along with specific consumer warnings. There are also sometimes some specifics on the ripeness of the grapes, and details about the winery that created the wine.
