What’s in a name?  A topic I’ve been thinking a lot about lately, particularly when it comes to wine labels.  What makes a label stand out, why does one gravitate towards one bottle vs. another, and how much are people reading the labels when deciding whether or not to buy?

I came across an interesting article on Food52, breaking down the basic things to note on a label.  The stylistic differences of old world. vs. new, the shape of the bottle, and varying degrees of government regulation all contributing to what goes on a label.

Old World Traditional French

Clean, Classic, Napa Valley

Fun and Quirky

Clean Minimalism

Modern

 As a consumer, I’m curious to know, what stands out to you?  And how much does the label really matter?
