Awful wine labels

Ummmmmm…

[J_Singleton]

Just creepy AF.

[Ian_Dorin]

BTW, this is an AWESOME label, and Google what soffocone means…if you can’t figure it out from the picture…

This one is scary.

Why did they put Chris Berman on the label?

[J_Singleton]

Another candidate. Throw a dart at Ed Hardy.

Just creepy AF.

Taken as a set, the Mephisto and Ange labels make me wonder if Fred Niger is trying to tell us that he’s a Dan Brown fan…

Alfredo is a friend and I may be biased, but having visited the vineyards that go into that wine, I’m in complete agreement on the quality of El Marciano.

Always felt those labels were also pitch perfect in relation to his personality.

I didn’t understand the martian name or the illustration. Maybe you can explain.

The vineyards are small old vine Garnacha plots scattered throughout the Gredos mountain about an hour outside of Madrid. They’re high altitude (e.g. >800 meters) with ridiculously rocky soils. As I understand it, the running joke is that because of those conditions, only Martians would ever farm the vines.

Thanks, Mike. That makes sense.

Here are some more nominees in response to the OP. These are British Columbia wines. I can’t imagine the prudes at ATF (or whatever it’s calling itself these days) would approve these labels for the US market:

That one is the worst. Not only ugly, but such tacky self aggrandizement.

… What is the worst label you have seen with quality wine?

I admit some of the quoted labels above are horrible - but are they really quality wine ?

(I mean it´s not only about _finding tasteless label_s - I think the question was about products with some reputation - no ?

The one I posted (Secret Squirrel) is Corliss’ declassified juice and people in the biz locally think it punches quite far above its $22 price.

What do people think of the new Selbach-Oster labels? I find them severe and somewhat frightening.

[Kasey_Dubler]

David, I agree the new Selbach Oster labels are not my favorite, but I do love the wine inside so I will continue buying…

After seeing the Lewis cab get wine of the year and drinking a pride mountain petite (hot pink label) last week it got me thinking what unattractive labels they have. What is the worst label you have seen with quality wine?

What’s wrong with the Lewis label? I kind of like it.

Yeah those are pretty severe!
