Most manufactures will only list the producer, vintage, region, and country on their labels. If you are able to look at the labels on German bottles online you’ll find something different than on other bottles. German bottles will list the quality level of the wine, grape, and vineyard. It will also list a style and taste indicator. So, German bottles tell you more about the variety by listing these details. Here is a little more information about the German labels.  

The vintage is the year the grapes were harvested. In a difficult and variable climate like Germany has, the geography is a solid indicator of whether you are purchasing a good variety. The village where the vineyard is located is identified by the hard to pronounce words on the bottle. These words end with the “er” suffix followed by another name ending in “berg” which means mountain or slope. The grape variety, however, is the most important factor in determining the flavor of the wine. Different grapes have different flavors and that is what determines how the wine will taste.
