What do you want on a back label?
January 15th, 2010 admin
Yesterday’s post sparked a discussion about which words and/or information you really would like to have on a back label.

Aquí está el resultado ¡sorprendente y espectacular! sin duda. El vino por sí sólo no posee fuerza para dejar el color si bien puede conseguirse utilizando la técnica adecuada ; es decir un pequeño truco que posibilita pintar con vino . Pero esa técnica , podríamos decir que parecida a la acuarela, sólo puede ser utilizada en un soporte de papel , jamás en un lienzo y mucho menos en superficies mas duras como la madera.

Why don’t green-minded vintners and vignerons always display their eco-friendly methods on the label?
