The painted bottle

This is a bottle of wine whose "front label" is actually painted onto the bottle. For label hunters like me, a photo of the bottle is the only way to record a likeness of the bottle. (Some port and madeira bottles are also painted; some of these have also got paper labels stuck on the bottles as well. There is however a "back label" with the legally required information and this one has a pull off tab for keeping to remind the consumer of the wine to purchase on the next occasion. Like certain Burgundies, the painted "label" does not have a vintage date (unlike the port bottles where vintage or age is indicated). Burgundies employ a neck label, Nederburg Ingenuity White relies on the back label.
