So what do I do John? Risk buying a few bottles with plants, animals
or birds on the labels, open one or two and find too late that they
are indeed naff. Or live in hope that friends might just have bottles
with natural history subjects on the labels. Decisions, decisions!

My advice (Mary will tell you this is mostly worthless) is to buy what you
like, decide whether you like it or not, and then buy a lot of the ones you
like! You could go to a 'wine-tasting' class, obviously, but you will
probably be expected to spit it out after each taste...
