Whilst searching out a few wines for Christmas, I was advised not to
consider any bottles with plants, animals or birds on the label. Those
with
would undoubtedly be naff. Don't say you haven't been warned!


What nonsense! 'Il Papavero', for example, is an excellent wine (e.g. Sunday
Times Wine Club's most re-ordered red wine for the past three years) and has
a picture of a poppy on the label.

My advice, FWIW, would be to resist being influenced by the appearance of
the label, regardless of what is or isn't depicted on it, and to try the
wine, if possible, before you buy.
