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 are not a connoisseur of wine it can be a little overwhelming at 1st glance. The majority of wine labels are really similar though, containing information on the winery exactly where the wine was made, the 'appellation' (the country or region where the grapes that went into the wine had been grown), the assortment (the kind of grapes the wine was created from) and the vintage (the year when the grapes were harvested}. The strength / alcohol content of the wine is also displayed on the label.

Some additional info may possibly seem depending on the country in which the wine was bottled. As an example, wines bottled in the USA are needed to have the name and address of the bottler displayed on the label, along with particular consumer warnings. There are also often some details on the ripeness of the grapes, and data about the winery that created the wine.
