The world’s 5 ugliest wine labels

THE BEST OF 2010: post published on September 5th | Wine Day Special:
“Percorsi di Vino” is a blog dedicated to discovering and enjoying Italian wines. In this first post selected and translated by E-Blogs to strengthen his blog’s relationship with other European wine blogs, Andrea has fun naming his personal Top 5 list of bad wine labels (for now, just foreign labels!). Italian wines, he promises us, are to be continued…

Here at Percorsi di Vino, the search for the most original wine labels continues.

Today you won’t find anything similar to what was written about Château Mouton Rothschild. Instead, I’ve decided to take a step backwards and publish the TOP 5 worst international wine labels (Italy itself deserves its own discussion).
I nominate this one for first place:

It’s the label of a merlot from Romania made by Vampire Wine. Examining the site, we can’t help but compliment them on their other bottled products. Dracola, in particular, would be intriguing to taste…

In second place we have a Spanish tempranillo distributed by the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain. The recipe for Castillian chicken with paprika appears on the label. Does the wine pair well or not??!?!?!?!?

Front label

Back label

In third place we’ve got a macabre label from another California-based company:

If you look closely, you’ll note the tiger licking her lips with her victim’s notebook and Safari hat and on the ground in front of her. We should also point out the “Bloody Good White” writing.

In fourth place, a Christmastime label of a Californian merlot. Don’t tell me that I don’t give you original ideas for the next holiday season:

In fifth place, last but not least, the “famous” Fat Bastard Wine Company shows you their chardonnay label. The whole experience starts from its name, no?

Not competing was this Californian Sangiovese called Cane Felice (Happy Dog)…….
