If you drink wine regularly, you may not be too concerned with wine bottle labels. You’re probably more concerned with the taste and quality of your drink than anything else.

Still, wine bottle labels can be fun, adding some character to what might otherwise appear to be a generic bottle of wine. If you’re a producer, these can often help to draw the eye to your products, and many will attest to the fact that marketing is just as integral in the world of wines as it is in any other industry.

Smart makers of wine will choose a label that somewhat resembles the wine inside the bottle. Letting your potential buyers know what to expect is a difficult thing to visually communicate, but casual wine drinkers may not know what the implications of a certain region, harvest, or year carry. As a result, the label goes a long way.

There have been plenty of funny and creative wine bottle labels during recent years, and the number of them continues to increase since makers acknowledge the fact that the right label can and will boost sales. Here are two that I’ve really enjoyed.

The first one is a wine known as “The Dog’s Bollocks”. This is a French red wine that doesn’t exactly sound great, but it makes sales.

While it may not sound at all appealing for a drink, it definitely strikes itself as a memorable wine variety, and you can be sure that many will be curious enough to sample the wine themselves.

The second interesting wine bottle label that I’ll bring to your attention is a Marilyn Monroe line that comes out of Napa Valley, and it’s actually called Marilyn Merlot. Each bottle features a different picture of the legendary actress.

This is a bottle of wine that men surely wouldn’t mind looking at!
