When you’ve finally found a wine you really like, how often do you remember its name when you’re out wine shopping again? Oxford Landing’s South Australian Shiraz wine label sports a useful innovation that can help – a tear-off tab to retain all the useful bits of info to remind you about your great wine experience. See the full post.

The label idea is great, but that wine is the real find. Oxford Landing GSM (Grenache/syrah/mouvedre) is a great wine at an unbelievably affordable price. My local market has it for around $7 a bottle and it compares very well with wines costing 5+ times that amount.

What a great idea. As it tends to be with the good ones, a very simple one. But with more wines in the market this really helps the ones (like me) with a lousy memory but a taste for wine…
Excellent! :)

A number of Australian wines have that now. I first noticed it on bottles of Wolf Blass (not to say that WB were the first to do it). As if I needed more half-folded, half-scrunched bits of paper filling my wallet. Great idea though..

Good Idea! But already done in 2005!

Actually it’s a patented product designed by the company that prints the labels, Collotype Australia. It’s been around since maybe 2000 or longer.

A great idea, makes it easier to remember what I drank when I review it on Winesocial.com.au!

I still love this idea and I don’t understand why more wine bottlers don’t do this. I first saw it on a bottle from the Durbanville Hills winery during a trip to South Africa a few years ago. I can’t believe this isn’t standard practice yet.

Brilliant. And there I am with my mobile phone trying to take sneaky pictures of wine labels in restaurants.
