I read about a brewery who had a lager called "I Can't Believe It's Not Bitter"

In my locale (San Diego, CA), it's not the label, but the nickname which gives folks a chuckle. At this years' California State Fair wine competition, out of over 2300 California wines entered, it was the Charles Shaw Shiraz which won. They gave it the double gold medal, too. It was pretty funny when all the snooty wine people found out. Some of the judges got a chuckle out of it. Other than the winery, Charles Shaw wines are only sold in Trader Joe's local stores in California, a bargain at $1.99 a bottle. The customers call it "Two Buck Chuck." And, yep--it's still there at the same price.

On the subject of drinks has anyone mentioned Frere Quenelle. I asked them how they got away with that one when I met one of them at a food and drink do in Leyburn - He said the only complaint they had ever had was from an old Lady who used to be a French Teacher - And she only complained because she did not see the joke at first!

Cheers

Emma, ever since I looked at the link you posted for Cleavage Creek Cellars, for some strange reason, I find myself humming "Down in the Valley. . . ."

EmmaB you seem to be very knowledgable on your wines. But that last one - very revealing. Fitou indeed.

one of my favourites from your label site link - "Bored Doe"

They did produce a local wine in the Cotswolds near Inkberrow. A vinyard in North Piddle - labelled "Chateau Piddle" - didn't do so well - not a big cellar (Ha!)

FWIW I bought two bottles of "Red" in Bridgnorth (lovely town - it deserves a folk festival) - Red label, red bottle, red cork, and white wine! Still got one bottle.

The Landlord of "The Cricketers " in Bournemouth had, for many years,in pride of place on a shelf behind the bar, a wine bottle from somehere in Iberia labelled " Quita Penas ", which suited his boastful nature admirably.

I don't drink beer, either, but I love this company's beer labels: click. I've seen the red truck in "person."

Carlson Winery, here in the Valley which is known as the Wine Capitol of Colorado, doesn't have very good pix of their labels, but I think that one, "Laughing Cat," must be for me.:-) Check out their Prairie Dog and Cougar Run ones.

The proliferation of micro-breweries has produced some beers that are beginning to challenge even the finer wines as good companions for various foods. One of the better ones I've found is:   CLICKY, a fine brown ale brewed by the Big Sky Brewing Company in Montana.

We had a wonderful chardonnay from Oz that had a lovely little Wombat picture and rejoiced in the name of 'Fat Bastard' - I still have the bottle which is just as well, because I've never seen it since that one purchase. Which is a shame because it was bloody fantastic!

seen in Morrisons a wine with a label showing a cat on an egg bearing the name Chat en Oeuf

and from NZ Cat's Pee on a Goseberry Bush

So what have you seen? Cats preferred but any labels that raise a smile.
