Hello all,

I usually just lurk here, but I'm working on a project for work where I need
to make a private label bottles of wine. I was hoping someone could
recommend a quality winery that did do private label bottles.

Thanks for your help!

On the off chance that you live in Pennsylvania, go to
http://www.lcb.state.pa.us/retail/CUSTOMLB.htm and you will see that the LCB
will do this for you.

Jim

You ARE aware that this NG is not for commercial use, don't you?

Ian -- the OP was responding to the original question by "Skilz2paydabills",
in which the question was asked where private labeled wines might be
obtained. While the response is from a commercial entity that is able to
meet the request, it was in response to the request. This seems to me to be
a valid use of the newsgroup. As a reasonably new person in the world of
wine, I often have questions; and welcome answers, whether from private
individuals or commercial entities to my specific questions. No question
that a posting made as the beginning of a thread (or in an unrelated thread)
would be spam like usage.
Thanks for your many useful postings - which have increased my knowledge.
Jim

And my comment was intended as a gentl-ish shot across the bows. In my range
of response from 1 to 10, I count that as a "1". I think that a strict
interpretation of the recommendations and rules governing the alt hierarchy
disallow ALL uses for commercial purposes and any reader would be within
his/her right to complain to the ISP for non conformity with Usenet
guidelines. I'd feel that would be wholly inappropriate in this case, btw.

> As a reasonably new person in the world of wine, I often have questions; and welcome answers, whether from private

Absolutely. As long as these replies do not solicit business. A more
appropriate follow up to the demand might be to by email, which of course
might be a waste of time with anti-spam measure in place. Then would be the
time to say something "Joe Bloggs, Email me please at..... " an easily
demungeable address.

It's a delicate and difficult line to draw, Jim. Quite a number of very well
respected posters here work in a professional capacity in the wine business,
without EVER soliciting for business on the NG. I think it's a little unfair
to their scrupulousness if we don't say anything when someone does.

But obviously YMMV.

Sorry about that, but I was responding to a question. On the other hand
while checking your signature on your post to me I came across a link to
your commercial enterprise (bed and breakfast) including the price for a
night's stay.
Must say it's one way of sneaking commercial posts onto the NG using the
back door approach.

First of all, since you keep changing the subject line, depending on newsreader
it might be quite difficult to keep track of what you're responding too.
Especially offline newsreaders which group by subject heading, not thread.
Might I respectfully suggest that you only switch headings if a drastic change
in subject matter occurs, in which case the best method is to note the switch
in your subject (for example "Loire Chenin Blanc (was Aussie Fruit Bombs) "

As to Ian's sig, this group was set up as a commercial-free newsgroup. From the
first days of Usenet, signatures have been exempt from the normal Usenet
requirements of being "on-topic," which means that they could contain any type
of content, commercial or not. However, they should be < 4 lines in length.

I don't think anyone here would object to your including your website in your
sig, as long as you participated in the general discussion (as opposed to
previous posters who have just repeatedly posted inanities to just get their
sig line up). I don't think anyone who has paid attention to this group for any
time would think that is Ian's motivation.

The original question was appropriate here. But you could have (and
should have) responded by private e-mail. And it is stretching things
beyond the breaking point to compare your posting and Ian's inclusion
of a web site in his signature line. Frankly, your postings are not
making you many friends in this forum.

Indeed, and if you read my reply to Jim, you'll have seen that my comment to
you was more in the way of a gentle warning.

>while checking your signature on your post to me I came across a link to

No, my sig does NOT give the price of a night's stay. Maybe I should, given
the excellent value for money. How many B&Bs do YOU know at ‚¬36 for two
including breakfast, and with full en suite facilities?

>Must say it's one way of sneaking commercial posts onto the NG using the
>back door approach.

You are entirely entitled to your opinion, of course. And for many years my
sig was quite different - I invite you to use Google Groups to search for
any pre- jan 2004 posts from me. However, after being reproached by many
readers here and in other NGs for NOT providing a link to my B&B, I finally
decided to do so. The sort of comment was "I heard from xxx you run a B&B, I
_wish_ I'd known because I've just come back from France". And so on. Given
that the guidelines specifically permit the use of a (commercial) website
address in the signature, I felt that I could not be said to be in
contravention.
