Labels Maketh the Wine

It used to be that the alcohol of choice that was consumed at the Hash (amongst Hash House Harriers) was beer but these times are gone and now we drink wine, too.

Wine labels can look classy or pretentious or boring but sometimes they add something more and pique the interest of a possible buyer (and drinker). But even better if we make our own labels or adapt existing ones. We do this mainly around Hashmas time when we hand out individual bottles to say thank you to those who helped to organise runs and trails and keep the Hash alive.

Our spirit animal is of course, the hare. This was our wine label in 2018. Actually, it’s two labels, I can’t remember which was the one that was used. Probably the lean hare and not the fat bunny, we have standards.

Sometime in 2019 I saw this wine label on a bottle in the supermarket:

I saw this bottle only today – it’s a pretty cheap but very drinkable little wine. The label cries out for some treatment.

Lately, some hashers have branched out and started to drink cider. This is a commercial label that has possibilities for the future.

Here is another early one. Sometimes trails are split and we have a shorter trail for slower hashers or turtles:

This is my personal favourite though, with a cultivar designed especially for the older hasher:
