Chateau has now lost some of its character, albeit in the label. It's sad that one "clever marketeer" must disrespect the preference of so many followers. Will SAB also now change their Black Label or any of its other brands.....just wondering. Shame on you Really, you are all so correct!!

You hit the nail on the head in your last paragraph. I couldn’t agree more that FairTrade is not a charity -it should actually be how things are! You hit the nail on the head in your last paragraph.

Porsche needs Porsche because Motor Car doesn't quite fit! Coca Cola needs distinction because Fizzy Mineral is not very catchy. 'Champagne' though says it all in a single word .... Diamonds, Champagne and Irish Rugby? Now, there's a possibility. ‘Champagne’ is probably in the top five brand names as a collective term? Porsche needs Porsche because Motor Car doesn’t quite fit!

I quite like it anyway. As long as the wine stays a good as ever, who cares about the label. I quite like it anyway.

I do not like the new label. We used to buy Chateau Libertas because it brought back so many happy memories. Will not buy now. If you want to change it go back to the very first label of 1932!!

With Chateau Libertas having been around for so long the aesthetic of its label becomes unimportant. I was so happy when I saw how a bottle of 69's label was hardly any different from the current offering. That should be their selling point. Quality for years at an always affordable price, not trying to look fancy. I mean, top-growth French labels are not what I would call pretty or stylish, but they are timeless. I’m with Mike.
