Already too much negativity floating around, but I feel we need a thread about wine labels people have… strong feelings about. Positive AND negative. Like this one. I might be OK with this on a bruiser SLH, but… a Burg?

I was thinking about that exact label when I read the thread title - worst label of all time!

I know everyone hates the Star Wars Ponsot labels but they’ve grown on me and I kind of love them now 
Shout out to Anders Frederik Steen labels as well in the “so bad it’s good” category

I rather like that. Succinct, to the point and with all relevant information. No BS. Wish more labels were like that.

A front label that looks like a back label.
No matter how the bottles look, I wish the wines were good (I haven’t had a single Steen wine I liked).
And the Ponsot Techno Disco Star Wars labels are just pugly.

Lots of string here on this subject …

As I also posted in the recent most beautiful labels thread, the Ponsot label is really out there and i wonder what on earth led to that decision. It’s so far off that I don’t understand it.
When it comes to AFS, I find his labels to be very beautiful even though his wines may not always be fully there. He’s a very honest and nice guy.
Otherwise Billecart Salmon, Comtes des Champagnes & 2014 Jean Luc Jamet to name a few.
Bouchard(RdJ). Somebody thought it was a great idea to butcher a perfectly fine label.

Is that wine made by Tony Danza?

Perhaps not rising to the level of shame, I for one think a number of Bordeaux producers have definitely taken a step back in aesthetics with recent label changes. Haut Bages Liberal is one example. Definitely not an upgrade.

I actually do hate the Duband labels because they look so boring and cheap. I’ve had many a wine store owner tell me that they sit on the shelves longer than their Burgundy compatriots. Would look so much better without the orange banner.

+1 on this. Really dislike the way it’s done now. The previous labels were more elegant
Did they hire a Veuve Cliquot intern for that label?

Told the owner of the Chateau, who I thought was just a rep, I thought the labels were awful at UGCB in Chicago.

100% agree. Taste great, look incredibly boring. I’d never buy me a bottle unless I knew how great they are.
Lol yes
