How to read a wine label

Reading a wine label is like reading a road map.

There is so much detail on wine labels that you can basically identify what the wine should taste like.   The French and German wines have been providing details on the labels for years.    Many other countries provide only a few items.   Hopefully, some day all wine labels will be as detailed as the French and Germans have been.
