On a serious note, I try to avoid the "let's slap an animal on the label and see how it sells" wines, after a period of succumbing to the marketing. I am much happier with my picks now.
My expectations were incredibly low. I subscribe to the same belief that cute animals on the label are meant to boost sales to suckers.
The truth is, my son needed a part for a science fair project and asked me to pick up a bottle with a plastic cork. Label aside, I was suckered in by the bright yellow plastic cork which I thought would impress his teachers who appear to be the sort that buy wine with cute animals on the label.
Final results:
1) BV Jr #3 got an A.
2) BV Sr will never drink another bottle of wine with a cute animal on the label, but wouldn't hesitate to use the cork and pour out the wine.
3) BV Sr will not order Funky Llama cutlet off any menu, under the assumption it will not taste like chicken.
