ITALIAN WINES and PIN UP GIRLS

Bikini-clad girls, film poster look-alike, pin up girls, strip tease divas, drawings. These are but some of the wine labels which producers use to promote their product.

Quickie!
Double Love Trouble Labels by Some Young Punks

If sex sells, then these wines should fly off the shelf, however I am not so sure that these products are extremely successful, as in some cases the wine inside the bottle is barely mentioned, if at all.

Bikinis Cabernet Sauvigno

Bikinis Chardonnay

Bikinis Merlot

Bikinis Pinot GrigioThe Bikinis Series

In any case, they are certainly labels which attract attention, because they are unusual and different from any of the mainstream labels.

Pin Up Series
Pin Up Series. As of now, there are five different sets of Pin Up labels
 A Las Vegas 'flavored' label by Sort This Out Cellar

Galdiator Cycles Pinot Noir
Gladiator Cycles Pinot Noir from California

Bottles
More sexy labels, including a fake Marilyn Monroe

I might be wrong, however, since the majority of wine is purchased by women, somehow I don't see many women purchasing these wines because of their labels.

  dry pasta fresh pasta Let's speak about PASTA! the first thing to understand is that there are many different kind of pasta, but there is a big difference between fresh pasta and dry pasta. Fresh pasta contains water so it needs to be kept in the fridge. Cooking time is usually short ; 3 to 4 minutes. Dry pasta has longer cooking times, usually 8 to 11 minutes.The second point is how to cook pasta. this point looks very simple, but usually in Italy (pasta country!) we do it in this way; when the water starts boiling, we add the salt (salt in italy is  in big grains, but also fine salt is ok, only you use two thirds of the quantity), in a medium pan two full big spoons. then you put the pasta. Usually on the pack the cooking time is indicated. then you throw out the water, you put the salsa and you eat immediatly! please, don't rinse the pasta with cold water!!!! if you do it, italians could kill you!
