           A LABEL IS A PIECE OF ART


         AND A GREAT STORYTELLER



        Often, when I am standing in a store and looking at the endless shelves of
        wines, wines and more wines, I wonder how an „ordinary person“ could pos-
        sibly have their understanding of them. And yet they are intended for „ordi-
        nary people“!

        Hörbst has an answer for this.
          And other thoughts come to my mind as
        well. What if the label smelled like wine. What
        if it could speak? And then I find out that all of
        this has already been here. For several years al-
        ready, labels of Sauvignons from Znovín Znoj-
        mo have been producing a nice smell after
        being rubbed with a finger, labels from Etiflex

          The world of labels can engulf you, just like
        philately or badge collecting. However, we
        must not forget that their primary task is to
        inform others about what is in the bottle and
        also to get the consumer to choose, buy, pay   If you rub the round spot on the label vigorously,   you
        for and taste such a bottle. ƅ           can to smell the scent of the wine inside the bottle.
