Please let me know what you think! The shrink wrap top is silver. I noted "fortified" because 1/2 this batch is fortified with Everclear and 1/2 is not.

Cap the "M" in "made"

Positioning of "FORTIFIED" is slightly awkward. I would put
it under 2009 or above chocolate. I would not make the
Fortified text larger than the wine name.

Nice label. Did you paint the picture?
 
Wow! That is one sweet label. Normally I can see something I would change personaly if it where mine. I can honestly say I can't think of a thing with this one. Very nice work!
 
Ha Ha! Now that 0202 brings it up I can see a few tweaks needed here or there, but generally speaking ..."It Sweet!"
 
I struggled with where, or if, to include the "fortified' designation. I tried other spots and can't find a better one. I did capitalize the "M" - thanks!

BTW: I stole the pic off the Internet.

Here is my previous port.

Additional designations like that fortified can be tricky.

One thing that makes it pop out is that it is the single
most differnet text. You have a script font (cursive)
for all the other text, and it's all black.

The "fortified" is red, and is in sans serif.

I'd use a font that was script, or sans serif but very
thin to play on the elegance of the script fonts. You're
SUPPOSED to see it so it's not that big of a deal,
honestly it reminds me of a post-printing stamp.

I like your choice of pictures.
 
personally I would try a different text along the side for the "Made, fermented.... " IMO. But overall a great label! :mug:
