Second Labels

Leave a comment Go to comments

Who wants to deal with second best? Actually, when it comes to wine – I do! In the world of wine, second bests have their individual characters and usually firmly stand on their own. It is second labels of the famous wines we are talking about, and when you can’t get (or can’t afford) The Best, second best, a.k.a. Second Label, comes to the rescue.

Here is a reference for you with the names of some of the Second Label wines. If you think that something should be added here – by all means, please let me know and I will be glad to add to the table.

Enjoy!
