| This section is meant to be ... shall we say ... relaxing To offset the "formality" of all of the wonderful labels
that we have from countries around the world ..We thought that
we'd set up a special section for labels that offer a bit of uniqueness
.. breaking the "formal" mold of what we think of as a wine label.
We hope you enjoy them. We are also providing space here for those people who make their
own wine labels.
You can help
us by
Emailing any
homemade and/or "unusual" labels that you might
find We hope you enjoy these |
Grodon B. of Australia writes ... I was prowling through
France once and came across something that might interest you for
you weird wine labels......I was in Boulonge (I think) and found
this bottle (along with many bottles of the Fat Bastard Shiraz!).
As you can see from the label, it is a genuine "Produit de France".
One has GOT to wonder at the production methods! -- Frog's Piss ( front ... back )---
Enjoy!!! |
| Robert H. of Australia writes ... I thought you might like
this unusual wine label from Margaret River in Western Australia.
The details are on the second label .. Suckfizzle ( front ... back ) |
| Marian B writes ... look at the Margaux label
and you'll see there's no vintage, written "non millésimé", very
rare |
| Marybeth sent in this really unusual Bully
Hill label |
| Ina F. sent in one that had us rolling around laughing ...
the Hogshead |
| Tim W. ( who sent in the Fat Bastard ) .. has found two
more great labels. We've tried to save these large enough so that
you can read the text from the back label ... so take a gander at
... Big Frank ...
and then at No Bull |
| 1950
Mount Bethel - Big Daddy Port ... there was a whole series
of these labels issued in the 50's and now the Mt. Bethel Winery
in Arkansas re-issued these labels ... if you have access to
any others please let us
know |
| Fat
Bastard Chardonnay ... hmmm wonder how the "experts" would
rate this one ? |
| Rick of the Italian winery Cantine Lombardi sent us "Il
Bianco della Dama" ... a nice label promoting a
relaxing evening |

to fit us |

| Nicolás D. writes ... I enclose you a wine label from
Tenerife- Canary Islands-Spain. I made it with corel draw and was
an excellent red wine. |
| Jim G writes .. I come across your website and i thought
you might be intrested in seeing the wine labels I made for my mother
and step father they just started making wine and asked me to make
them an origional label. They are also gun nuts (no there not hillbillys
hehe) So needless to say they loved the
labels |

Tony D. Writes ... Hi Art & Betsy - Attached is the
front and back of my homemade wine labels. I make homemade wine
strictly for fun and these labels typically go out on bottles that
I give to friends. I made these labels using only MS Word and clipart
pictures. There are an infinite number of possibilities using this
combination and as a result my labels change frequently, but the
attached labels are pretty typical for what I give out and I thought
you might enjoy them. I love your website, its very interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to look at them and I hope they make
it to your website page showing different labels!. PS - Antonio
is our new baby boy ..

| Chris S. Writes ... Here's
mine. A friend took the photo while living in Chicago,
and my wife created the label with PhotoShop. I change the detail
for different wines and print them on a color printer. |
Lyle K writes .... Hi Art & Betsy: Attached
are pictures of my wine label from some Chianti wine I produced
last year. Also attached is my winery's insignia,
New York Valley Winery, that I use on shirts, etc. It is all for
fun. I am a home winemaker, so I do not sell or market the wine.
It's just a fun hobby. Thought you might like to see the label and insignia.

| John B writes ... I own a video production company and
produce a TV show called "The Ghoul Show". It airs in Cleveland Ohio,
with plans for this fall in Detroit Michigan. The "Ghoul" is a Horror
Movie Host with skits that we do. The entire shoe is shot and produced
at my studios. so...with that in mind... I made a Zin that I reserved
for a few individuals.. and called it Zinfan-Ghoul.
His likeness is on the label as well. |
| Bill M ... sent us these labels that show how you can use
MSWord to make nice labels |
| Jack K ... sent in an example of his homemade
labels and how to make them |
| Bob H writes ... This is a label for some blackberry
wine made in Oakland California. The berries were picked
in the Diamond Canyon area of the Oakland hills. |
| Chris Coleman allowed us to show his
latest labels. Once you have viewed them, stop by his
personal website to learn about the wines that he makes |
| David H writes .. Attached is a label
I made last October for my first attempt at plum wine.
It's hardly as elegant as most of the labels you already display,
but I hope you find it unusual enough to consider. The image
is actually a digital photo of a sweatshirt made by Gryphon Stringed
Instruments of Palo Alto, California (a guitar shop). The gray
background reminded me of parchment, and I like fantasy themes. |
| When Jo H. bottled up his first three, 15 liter bottles
of his new wine, he found that it had 17% alcohol ... this
is the label that he created for this homebrewed wine |
| Jeff Chorniak - owner of the smallest (??) vineyard on the
net has created a great label for his Africus
Rex wine. You can see his mini-vineyard at his neat
site |
