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 aren't a connoisseur of wine it can be a small overwhelming at very first glance. The majority of wine labels are very similar though, containing info on the winery exactly where the wine was produced, the 'appellation' (the country or region exactly where the grapes that went into the wine had been grown), the assortment (the sort of grapes the wine was produced 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 extra information could seem based 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 often some particulars on the ripeness of the grapes, and information about the winery that made the wine.
