This label is an original painting by Hauke Vagt - he is a rather eccentric German painter, spending his summers with the tourists on the streets in Lisbon. We found this some time ago and absolutely had to put it on a bottle. He has no mobile phone and is not an easy guy to reach, but finally here it is. An iconic image from Lisbon.
