If you've ever been frustrated by a wine label that has a beautiful watercolor, but tells you nothing about the wine, then German wines will be a veritable paradise for you.  In most countries, the labels may tell you who made it, what grape(s) is in it, what the vintage is, and sometimes where the vineyard is.  And this is not always the case.  The German wine label, on the other hand, can tell you everything you could want to know.  Listed below is the information offered by the label to the right:

The name of the producer: look for a name with Weingut or Schloss in front of the name (e.g. Weingut Gelchu Albertz-Erben)
The name of the town: this will precede the vineyard name and usually has the letters "-er" on it (e.g. Ürziger)
The name of the vineyard: usually will the name of the town (e.g. Würzgarten)
The grape used (e.g. Riesling)
If it is QbA or QmP designated wine, this will be prominently displayed as well as the classification it has been given (e.g. Spätlese)

Other data may include:
The vintage (e.g. 1993er)
The style, usually expressed with Trocken or Halbtrocken, indicating whether it is dry or "half-dry."
Who grew the grapes?  If it indicates erzeugerabfüllung, this means that the producer bottled the wine, while gutsabfüllung means that the wine was an estate-bottled wine.
