Video: See just how they get those labels on wine bottles

SAMANTHA BRIX PHOTO | Sparkling Pointe winemaker Gilles Martin prepares to box bottles after they're labeled by the winery's labeling machine.

We visited Sparkling Pointe in Southold last week to capture winemaker Gilles Martin labeling and boxing bottles of 2002 Brut Seduction, the winery’s signature sparkling wine.

The bottles are washed, dried, labeled and capped before being shipped out in boxes. Last week, the bubbly was heading to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan.

Sparkling Pointe has a complete winemaking, bottling and labeling facility on site. View the labeling — the last part of the process before wine is out the door — in the video below.
