I put year, wine, and winery on label-helps me keep track of aging wines and what selections I have for drinking
nice to be able to tag wines by year, reds or whites and specialty wines by the color coding tags.
We have a small wine cellar (500 bottles) and they were "roughly" sorted. The identification tags allowed us to quickly find the proper match for a dinner. Plenty of room on tags.
A simple little idea that actually works - and saves time.
I bought some for "me" and some for friends that are installing a wine cellar....Make a great gift as well as fun/interesting gift tags for bottles of wine....
really usefull if you have a lot of wine on hand.
one con: each label is branded with "wine enthusiast" No problem, however the font is fairly large and it takes away from the space you have to write the name of the bottle. On the all white version, you can just use the back of the label instead of the front, but the color coded version is only colored on one side, so you have to write smaller or just on top of where it says "wine enthusiast."
In a stupid act of self promotion, Wine Enthusiast has decided to take most of the space that you would use to write your comments, with their oversized name/logo. This leaves little to no room to write your own comments. As not to be a total waste, I'm using the back side of the tags.
These are great for identifying my wine, especially keeping track of everything over time. I list the wine name and vintage on the front, and date acquired and price on the back. The color coding helps to differentiate between wine types, and perhaps most importantly, I use one color to identify what my wife should be pulling to share with friends when I'm not around. You only have to lose your last bottle of '85 Mondavi Reserve that way once to realize the value of such a simple identification system.
I read other reviews concerning the large "Wine Enthusiast" logo on the tags and assumed they were exaggerating. The logo looks small on the photos in the catalogue and website. Unfortunately, the logo is in fact huge, to the point were there is little room to write pertinent info. about the wine on the label! Obviously, the point of the tags is to provide info. about the wine, not to advertise the fact that they came from Wine Enthusiast (in the latter case, the labels should be free). This is an inexusable blunder. If it were not for that, the tags would be fine.
I would like to get back to the free hanging, non paper tag that has a more quality look and feel to it. [...]
These tags make my wine selection so easy, no more pulling every bottle off the rack to see what it is (and it makes my collection look a little more impressive). Everyone comments on such a clever idea. You can also keep the tags and add a note about how you rank the bottle for future reference.
I have used this product in the past and was very satisfied. However, the new design that has considerably increased the size of the "Wine Enthusiast" lettering has greatly inhibited my ability to appropriately utilize the product. The amount of space now allowed for entering "important" information has been significantly compromised. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!
As a wine collector, I order these color-coded tags quite often to separate my wine bottles into categories. I recently ordered 2 sets of these tags only to be disappointed by the recent tag redesign. The Wine Enthusiast logo is now too big and prominent on the tag, not leaving enough room to write down the pertinent information of the wine it is identifying. The old design was much more functional and tastefully done. Now because of the bolder type, the logo competes with what I need to write on my tag, making it difficult to quickly glance and search for the bottle I want. The redesign has really killed the function of what these tags were intended for. I am deeply disappointed with this product and will not order them again from Wine Enthusiast.
