Amazing Wine Labels More Intoxicating Than What's In The Bottle Slideshow

This do-good, feel-good South African wine has a philanthropic mission (building houses for AIDS orphans and displaced families — people who literally have "no house"), but it's also very pleasant drinking. The bottle is the thing, though — playing off Delft Blue pottery designs from The Netherlands, the design, by the Dutch firm Studio Boot, is (according to its creators) "not slick...but fair and beautiful."

We're sure the white and red wines is as delicate and beautiful as the exquisite Sicani bottles. The vividly colorful flowers may suggest floral essences in these Sicilian offerings. On the basis of the bottle alone, these would make an attractive centerpiece for an elegant affair.

At first look, the classic script on these bottles suggests an old-fashioned prince and princess love story — Sleeping Beauty, maybe. The flirty golden glitter on the  Interessante label hints at the tropical fruit, Meyer lemon, and white peach flavors in the wine.

This bold and playful label suggests the Sonoma white blend is like the best friend you can count on no matter what. The color scheme and fun fonts will instantly change your day from drab to fab! We'd like to think a bottle of this white wine is perfect for catching up with friends, a venting session, or those precious few moments you get alone to decompress from the stress of the day.

Vineyard's winemaker Randall Grahm depicts his alter ego, Reginald ffrench-Postalthwaite, on the label for A Proper Claret. Ffrench-Postalthwaite inquires what a person must do for a proper claret (a generic British term for wines of Bordeaux) wherever he is. The eye-catching design stirs up thoughts of an old English library — except that the volumes on the shelves all seem to bear  wine names.

There's not much we can (tastefully) say about this except that the wine is as huge and bold as the witty, sexy Botero-inspired label.

Winemaker Aaron Pott describes his dense cabernet sauvignon as "Little Jesus in velvet underpants" (a reference to an old French expression for something smooth, "C'est le petit Jésus en culotte de velours"). The label design depicts a cartoon crow flying through stylized vines that look almost like calligraphy. Although busy, the label achieves a beautiful sense of balance. 

The label for this spicy red blend of syrah and grenache evokes a sense of mysticism and mystery in nature. Those who try it will taste the blueberry, floral, and spice notes, and may be inspired to create a story about the mischievous wolf while sipping.
