When I'm browsing through the liquor store, looking for a new bottle of wine to try, I look at a number of factors: country, grape, price and looks. Not necessarily in that order. I would much rather buy a bottle that I know is good, but if I'm going blindly, any of those single items can lead me to try it.
Case in point. I was looking to stock up the wine rack and pick out some I knew were good, and went blindly on some others. I bought one bottle purely on looks. The label was pretty and the name was cool. The name? Bitch. How can I not love a wine with a title like that? and with a pretty pink label and cap, I was sold. Bitch is a South Australian Grenache with an alcohol content of 15.5%. So I was expecting a big flavorful wine. My disapointment started right when I poured it into a glass. It was light in color and almost opaque. I poured my girlfriend a glass and we tried our first sip. eeew. weak, watery and unflavorful. What a disapointment! I should know better, the prettier the wine bottle, the worse the wine. What a disapointing bitch!
