Just two peripheral thoughts.
I always store wine with label on top
a) I can see what it is
b) if the label becomes detached, it may not falloff
c) if you are pouring the wine off the sediment into someone's glass, you
can do this and they can see the label.

Am I alone in believing it is correct that when pouring wine, the recipient
should be able to see the label? The end of the bottle is held, or the
bottle is cradled in the palm of a hand beneath it.

Likewise, should Champagne be poured by elegantly inserting the thumb into
the punt (sp?) and not by grabbing the neck and warming it?

Just details, of course.
