"Diva down! The smell of honeydew melon attracts hoverflies and the taste of rotten pineapple is almost too much to bear. This is a white wine so fraudulently sweet and so oily, it could be a politician. Somehow, an afterbreath of alcohol carries through, ripe with apple VKs, and plaque."

I enjoyed that. And while the poster may be '80s, I think the label itself is channelling '00s female-leaning popular fiction. It's the cover of a Cecilia Ahern or a Sophie Kinsella. Kooky fontage.

I absolutely see that, yeah. I should have done more critique on how utterly dull it is compared to the image they're going for.

You made it sound quite... stimulating.

Oh I mean the label. The wine itself made me die and then begrudgingly come back to life again. If that's stimulating, then yes.

Ahh, gotcha. Yes, it's the absolute minimum-creativity design.
