Default Labeling

Yup! ....Jon, that label is for Foreigners, Canadians, and other people from far distant lands, that are unlikely to have been to the big West island.
Hanno, we have an old Australian wine bottle sitting on a shelf at our batch. It's labled as "Anti venom" It probably tasted like sh*t, but the marketing angle appealled to someone.
Maybe Ryan, the winery should do two labels? Your label only implies a limited supply, which is a lesser departure from the truth.

Personally I find Eastern Brown Snake Anti Venom a little dry towards the back of the palate, but very good with chicken & fish.

Western Tiapan has a bouquet on it like a sweaty arm pit, but if you like smoky overtones with a hint of oak, not bad.

Red Belly Black Snake displays classic citrus flavours with a delicate crisp finish. Ideal as an aperitif with pears & cheese.

Default Canadian Wine that daren't be named

"Yellow Snow Sauvignon Blanc.

Harvested by hearty, hairy Canadian Maidens who frolic in the weak sun with Beavers and Elk, this wine is sourced from the pristine tundra region north of the Athabasca Tarpits, using only the most satisfactory grapes grown on the crisp clean snowmelt from behind Canada's finest Pines. This is the essence of the Canadian people and landscape exported to the world! Best served cold."
