dropper named after

A sure sign of a label drinker is when a person spends more time talking about winery names than actually enjoying the wine. If you’re having to listen to terms like “Château X” or “Domaine Y” every minute, you’re probably talking to a record label smoker.

bottle flood

Label drinkers tend to surround themselves with a barrage of bottles, with no idea what’s inside. They collect empty and often expensive wine bottles like trophies, never appreciating the history or unique characteristics of each wine.

fear of the unknown

Another characteristic of label drinkers is that they are wary of unknown or less well-known wine regions. They usually stick to classic wines and are reluctant to explore new things. Label drinkers often approach young, aspiring wineries with great skepticism.

price fixing

Label drinkers often believe that expensive wines are automatically better than cheap wines. They judge the quality of wine based on its price tag, not on their own taste. In principle, wines are nothing more than a status symbol for label drinkers.

superficiality

If someone cares more about the appearance of the bottle or label than the taste of the wine, that’s a sure sign. Label smokers obsess over special-sounding names but neglect the actual enjoyment.
