Two bottles of wine were brought to my attention recently. The first is called Fisheye, by the Fisheye Winery in Soledad, California. A couple of friends pose with the bottle. And yes the photo was made using a fisheye lens! I am not sure of the focal length or f-stop, but it was good. The winery has fun with words, saying: "At Fish Eye, there's no pinkie raising, Brie eating, wine spitting gobbledygook." and "This wine jumps out of your glass!"
The other bottle was a Leitz wine. I could find no connection with E. Leitz, the maker of the famous Leica camera. This photo was made using a Leica Vario-Elmarit lens! The Josef Leitz estate is located in the town of Rüdesheim in the Rheingau wine-growing region in Germany. It has been run as a part-time business since 1744, and it was only in the 1950's that Josef Leitz concentrated exclusively on wine. No time for taking photos, too busy making wine!
Going by the label this could be F/3.0 wine :~)
