Funny labels for funny friends!

What wine should we offer to a friend who doesn't know much about it?

As all the students, we are attracted by the beautiful labels, funny and colorful. But there are not always good wines and the pretty labels can sometimes hide a very bad wine ...

Therefore we did the experience, we have chosen the labels of bottles that we liked the most among different wine cellar, always at a low price!

The white wine is not comparable to the reds, but it’s a good white wine…
The screw cap is great for students who don’t know how to use a corkscrew. Simple and easy to take anywhere!

 è  The best value for money is the first one, from Pays d’Oc, it’s a wine very well made for such a low price.

 è  The best quality/serious wine is the third one from Spain, best balance, surprising! Our Coup de Coeur.

   For this article we choose to go and buy our bottles in wine cellars rather than on the supermarket shelves, only to show you that, for the same price, you can buy good wines there, and you'll have more original wines! And a lot more funny labels.

Drink cheap. Drink well!
