You may not believe it when you look at them, but wine labels are full of useful information.
Look, you’re standing in a wine store looking at a vast array of bottles and how do you know what any of them are? I mean sure, you could Google each option one at a time trying to find a helpful review or tasting note. And yeah, it would be super nice if each display included small tasters so you could give them each a try before making a selection. And it would be super nice if every store employee was available, knowledgeable and unlikely to make you feel like an uncouth dummy (oh, it even happens to me).
But I shop for wine in the real world and mostly it’s just me and a bunch of labels.
