How to remember your fine wines

You know, sometimes it’s really freaky how there are more people in EXACTLY the same situation as you than you think. For example, I’ve just read this article on the Lonely Marketer blog: A Great (and tasty) Marketing Example « Lonely Marketer

Patrick Schaber (the author) writes the following:

My wife and I vow that one of these years we’re going to start keeping information about wines we enjoy. Maybe its the time involved or the tough peeling of labels from bottles, but we never seem to start cataloging our favorite bottles.

Saving the names of your favourite wines

Now, I’ve only been married for a little over a year, but my wife and I have been saying this since we got married. We’re pretty new to the whole wine-drinking thing, as it’s something we enjoy doing when we sit down for dinner, so trying new wines is fun… But trying to remember which wines we enjoyed is really tough. Having easy-peel labels on wine bottles would be an EXCELLENT way for us to catalog our favourite wines.

Now, all we need is for the South African wine industry to read this blog, because we all know where the best wines in the world come from, don’t we? ;-)

    James – thanks for mentioning my post! I think the peel-off label is a great marketing tactic and makes it much easier to remember the good wines.

    Hi Patrick.

    It’s a pleasure for the mention. I really did find it amusing that someone else on the other side of the world (I have to assume) is in the same predicament as I am…
