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 little overwhelming at very first glance. The majority of wine labels are fairly similar though, containing data on the winery where the wine was produced, the 'appellation' (the country or region exactly where the grapes that went into the wine had been grown), the variety (the type 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 added details may seem based on the country in which the wine was bottled. As an example, wines bottled in the USA are required to have the name and address of the bottler displayed on the label, along with specific consumer warnings. There are also sometimes some details on the ripeness of the grapes, and information about the winery that developed the wine.
