While French consumers might not have recognised that the label for "Mascara" (see above) showed a moment of prayer, other brands chose to include unmistakable markers of Islam. This label for "Le Minaret", for example, shows - prominently in name & image - a minaret.

Drawn wine label in beige and greens. It shows a mosque on the right hand side, with two men waiting outside and with a minaret. On the left hand side, there are palm trees and a man on a donkey, riding towards the mosque. The decoration around this includes ornaments that vaguely look like Arabic script, but that are not. The text of the wine label says: "Le Minaret. Grand vin rosé d'Algérie", as well as "12°" and "Supérieur".

On the topic of weirdly sacrilegious wine labels: There are even some wine labels that seem to show praying Muslim men, like this astonishing & rather famous one for "Mascara, Vin d'Algérie" from 1925.

Drawing in orange tones. It shows a camel, in the foreground, in black, with grapes on its back. Next to it is a Muslim man, in white clothes, who seems to be praying. Behind them is a city. A black sign below the camel says "Mascara, Vin 'D'Algérie".

Linocut printmaker Becca Thorne was commissioned by Zimmermann Communications to create two bottle labels 🍷 for the 2023 vintages from Domaine Les Dryades, an organic vineyard in Lavaux, Switzerland.

The illustration for the white wines is based on the plants and insects of the vineyard, while the red shows a dryad - a tree spirit and the vineyard's namesake.

That is a strong statement! Apparently, milk can claim anything. Wine can't do that. In most (if not all) countries, wine labels are strictly regulated. #climatechange #globalwarming #winelabels

Mastodon seems to rate many innocuous #winelabels as sensitive content. If this irritates you then change your Preferences to see the #wine
