What does
“Lucky Lizard” on the wine label mean? That was one of the questions we were
asked during one of our regular quiz/tasting session. We were shown the picture
of an Australian white wine, but were told that the wine doesn’t matter, what
matters is the label. Much to our surprise a totally off the cuff answer we gave turned out to be a correct one.
There are
so many lizards in the area that sometimes they get caught in the press, but
the plate of the press doesn’t go all the way down leaving a little space on
the bottom. That gap is enough for lizard to survive the crushing force of the
press. Thus the name of the wine, “Lucky Lizard”.
I suppose only
experts and operators of the press can know this for sure, so if you are one of them,
let us know if there is any truth to this story.
