Shitty merchandise usually require gimmicky advertising.

Not saying it's the case here, but just sayin'.

True but there are some nice looking labels there..and some I think look like crap.

My favorites are the Megalomaniac labels from Niagara. with their "SonofaBitchPinotNoir" Narcissistic Riesling" and such...

Could be a helpful guide if you were decorating a room with an wine rack and want aesthetically pleasing bottles to fill it with.

Waters Winery and Gramercy Cellars put out bottles of wine with labels modeled after the periodic table of elements.

The only good wine I think I've ever had with an overdesigned bottle was Perrier Jouet's grand cru... it's good champagne with a really gay bottle.

Other than that, I prefer simple labeling. Penfolds always struck me as a bit cheap looking.

Aesthetically I don't think you can beat Yquem, it's very distinct.

I like the Oreno Setti Ponti label a lot.

Most look as though they would be more appropriate for a microbrew beer. The Sicani is nice, though.

Red Car makes a really damn good Syrah they call "The Fight." I have several bottles, of various vintages, and this is one of my favorite labels:

That first one would be pretty intimidating if it just showed up on your desk one morning.

I like the designs however a wine like a book should not be judged by its cover. A great wine takes the drinker into another dimension. A fancy label does not guarantee that.

As design, yes. Great link. But for wine, I find them repulsive. Nice for coolers or for 5 dollar hollas.

I might look at them twice among the racks at a liquor store (which I suppose is the point) but not with a particularly positive eye. I agree with the comment about most of these being better suited as microbrew designs.
