If the wine bottle tells some story about the history of family and the sunlight in the afternoon and has a pretty label you can be guaranteed they spent all the money on the marketing and none of it on the sludge inside

Plus I want the care instructions visible before I buy. I don’t want to find out later that I should hand wash only on mornings in months with no r using only filtered water and hand- made rose oil.

I love the Ridge bottles with the super technical weather report about the growing year

Don’t know much about wine but my approach is usually - at my price point which of these looks the least appealing visually AND isn’t owned by a celebrity. It seemed to have largely been successful

I think there should be an ingredients panel on a wine bottle, Ridge Vineyards does this. If you add anything or take anything away that should be disclosed.

My good buddy always told me to look for the highest alcohol by volume—that was the “good" wine.

That's my biggest pet peeve of online recipes. Show me the ingredients not some exhaustive story that has nothing to do with the food

If a wine bottle tells you a story about anything you are probably really high.

This is one of the benefits of European wines, once you understand the labeling. All of the technical information is typically built in by law, though not necessarily explicit.

How do you spend money on the sludge inside unless you’re buying somebody elses’s grapes? puzzled
