US: Wineries conjure up weird labels for the creepy season
Oct 31, 2011
(NapaValleyRegister) - For some wine lovers, “sparkling white zinfandel” is scary enough, but many wineries have marketed wines with truly spooky labels.
Maybe the most obvious is Vampire wine. Oddly, it’s not from Transylvania in Romania where vampires reportedly originate (though Romanians have supplied wine to the label in the past) but from Vampire Vineyards in Los Angeles. It comes in a variety of flavors, from pinot grigio to cabernet. Vampire Vineyards also markets Dracula syrah, pinot noir and zinfandel, Trueblood pinot noir and Chateau de Vampire wines.
It should be noted that unlike vampires, Dracula was a real person. Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (called Vlad Tepes — the Impaler) or Count Dracula was a hero among Romanians for fighting the Turks that occupied his country in the 15th century. He learned his unpleasant form of execution from them.
