Wine Labels Explained

What Do The Labels Mean?

There is a lot of information in the label of a bottle of wine, and if you aren't a connoisseur of wine it can be a tiny overwhelming at 1st glance. The majority of wine labels are quite similar even though, containing information on the winery exactly where the wine was created, the 'appellation' (the country or region exactly where the grapes that went into the wine had been grown), the variety (the sort of grapes the wine was produced from) and the vintage (the year when the grapes had been harvested}. The strength  / alcohol content of the wine is also displayed on the label.

Some extra information may possibly seem 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 particular consumer warnings. There are also occasionally some specifics on the ripeness of the grapes, and details about the winery that produced the wine.
