Ugh! No! It's wine. How do giant weird pictures convey taste and class? People should know better. Like my roommate, for example, who brought home a Fat Bastard Shiraz with a fucking hippopotamus on it.

Not trying to sound like a wine snob here, but I'm surprised more people aren't the opposite -- instantly turned away by overly-chintzy packaging or title.
