Wine Labels As Cinderellas !

It is up to the individual collector to decide on this, whether Wine or beer labels should be included in their collection.
I used to collect these when I was younger, long before I knew what a Cinderella was ! They were discarded years ago.

BENTON LANE VINEYARDS AND WINERY

This:




A Cinderella with a very nice and coveted background.

I recently recieved one of these Wine Labels from Butterfly and immediately saw a similarity with some famous old USA airmail.....what was it now ?!

Anyway, research ensued.

Benton Lane Vineyards and Winery are situated in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, an area well-known for Fine wines.
The owners of the Estate, Steve and Carol Girard wanted something different for the label on their famous Red Wines, Pinot Noir.
So they hired a friend and Stamp Collector Jim Moon, a Graphic Artist, to design a Cinderella wine label.
Jim Moon had long had a fascination with the Inverted Jenny and so it was that the first Pinot Noir Wine label had this famous stamp as a base for the design.
The first sketching was accepted and the Benton Lane Wine Label aka Cinderella was born.
The design was first used in 1992 and Jim Moon won a Gold Medal for the design at the 1994 San Francisco International Wine Competition.
In 2004, he won a Silver at the same event for a later design.

Thanks Butterfly for the label which I found hugely attractive and interesting. But I blame you for my current pursuit of more !

Oh yes, the label is large, Self-Adhesive.

Hardey's Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

and the solution to the Lorikeet cinderella thereon....

I have a dusty, empty wine bottle with a stamp design for the label. I even added to the bottle a small, red, embroidered APS logo sticker to the neck of the bottle.

Butterfly has very kindly sent me this.......



Superb Wine label......I just love it.

Many thanks again

For our Australian friends, I picked up this wine at a local 99 cent store. (Low cost option where everything is US1$ or less.) It's a fun item, as it combines several of my favorite items: Wine (Cabernet), Stamp Collecting, and Australia. I have my doubts whether this wine is actually drinkable ...

Well Partime, it states clearly that it is a great tasting wine in the Australian style!

Partime....nice one!
personally, I don't partake of alchohol, but "Hardys" is a very well known Australian brand.
I would be surprised if it were not palatable to those whom know.

Great Item, guess you'll soak the label after consumption.

Please post your critique after opening.

Not that I would have a clue, but would this be the one?




sorry unable to post link.

OK, I had some free time and my wife and I decided to have cheese, crackers, pate and try out this wine. I was pleasantly surprised. It is claimed to be a Cabernet Sauvignon, but it was closer to a strong Merlot with a decent finish. I recommend it to collectors that need that special finish to a discovery filled day.

I'll be visiting the store tomorrow to see if they have any left.

I'm sure, that someone from California konws pretty well how a good wine tastes. By myself, líving on a wine producing country (Catalonia), wouldn't touch a 0.99$ (0.8€) wine, even with a stick! But, for sure, the label itself is worth the price.

Many thanks for reviving this topic! I got curious about stamps on wine labels after spotting the same Benton Lane brand that started things off. I'll repost, since the link has been lost.

There are way more "philatelic" wines than you might imagine. Hardy's is by far the most prolific, but there are many others. I'll post some representative examples and can add more if anyone is interested...

Fabulous post Greg!
Thank you. Saved.

One more for fun.

Btw, Partime -- I checked the rating for your 2014 Stamp of Australia Cab Sauv using my Vivino app: 3.4 (out of 5), which is not bad. Average price $17.99! I'd say you did well.
