Admit Your Lack of Wine Knowledge with Popptags
Some of us just aren't well-versed in wine, but at least we can admit it with a bit more style and less sheepishness. Just hang one of these pretty letter-pressed wine tags by Popptags on the bottle neck, or customize your own. Hey, it's better than pretending to be a wine expert. [via New York magazine]

"It's all about me" is what those tags seem to say, at least to me. If I didn't know a thing about the wine I'd use a plain card, not a tag like these. And say something about the person to whom I'm giving the wine.

I do this all the time with gift tags. Often you could get a bottle from me with the following little notes:
Here is another bottle of Valopolacella for you to put in the fridge and ruin.
It is Merlo you wine heathen not Marlo, she was That Girl.
When you next come to my house bring this with you and pretend you bought it.
Your new girlfriend is going to love the fact you remembered her favorite wine (this bottle) make a note of it.
Going to the wine store with you was very informative. Cross off everything we talked about from your list and serve this.
I bought wine at Costco, why do I feel so guilty?
Pedestrian Wines R Us was closed so I got you this instead.
The label on this bottle of wine is not cute but the wine is. Go figure?
I went out and bought you this, the last wine you served tasted like P*SS.
