Wine Labels

Wine Labels seem to be getting some attention recently.  Some people find it confusing to know “Who made the wine?”

The Wine Making Process is a multiple step process;  there is the grape grower, the vintner, the producer, etc….etc…….sometimes a wine is estate grown, vinted, produced and bottled; most often not.

WineShop At Home has created the following information to help lessen confusion from wine labels:  thearchitectureofalabel

Labels are required to include specific information:  http://www.ttb.gov/pdf/brochures/p51901.pdf 

It’s not really that confusing; it’s just understanding the process and knowing the difference between where the grapes were grown and who made the wine which often are not the same winery.  A winery may not be a vineyard, the winery may not even grow grapes; the more we pour the more people we encounter who seem to confused by this point in particular.
