Poll: Have you ever puchased a wine just because the label was intriguing?
  • 45.6% - Yep, I’ve found lotsa great wines that way. 444
  • 41.6% - Sometimes, especially when I’m having trouble deciding. 405
  • 9.1% - Nope, I only go by reviews or recommendations. 89
  • 3.6% - Somewhere in between? Tell us in the comments. 35

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

I bought a bottle called wench and gave it to my wife for her birthday.

Contrary to what you're thinking, she loved it.

Did a wine party once where everyone brought an under-twenty dollar bottle with the most interesting label they could find. Had prizes for best wine (blind tasting) and best label.

I've definitely bought some awful wine that had neat labels! And a good one or two.

Back before woot, I would do that. Since woot, all my wine comes from wine.woot. I now make my decisions on the descriptions, ratting and comments. No more guessing for me.

7 Deadly Zins. It turned out to be pretty good.

I have the whole series of Marilyn Merlot wines because of the labels. Why couldn't the stuff be 4.99 a bottle instead of 30.00. I hear it's nasty if you open it, but brilliant twist on words

What Contemptible Scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch??

The Lido Bay Sampler, sure the wines sound good. But I had to have it for the label.

my wife brought us an absolutely horrible Ecco Domani this way. but sure, sometimes. Or, occasionally, if the name is interesting enough.

Creative labels rock! I try new wines based on the label and the creative name. I have a bottle of Sweet wench right now.
