Abstract

An informational label prepared to be and thus advantageously attached by static electricity to a wine glass in a restaurant and readily peeled off for transfer to a cooperating wallet surface of the patron to facilitate making subsequent purchasing reference to the label.

Claims

1. A method of preparing a wine informational label for transport from a restaurant with a restaurant patron comprising the steps of calendering a substrate in a label format of polyvinyl chloride construction material having a front surface and an obverse surface so as to induce a static charge therein, imprinting said obverse surface with indicia of a selected content identifying a bottle source of a selected wine, providing an initial operative position of said label with said obverse surface thereof in a static-induced attachment to a surface of a wine glass in a restaurant environment, filling said wine glass with wine having an informational relation to said indicia imprinted on said label obverse surface, removing said label from said wine glass, and providing a subsequent operative position of said label on a plastic surface available to said restaurant patron in a duplicated static-induced attachment thereto, whereby said label undergoes transport with said restaurant patron to contribute to subsequent use of said informational content of the label.

2. A method of preparing a cocktail informational label for transport from a restaurant with a restaurant patron comprising the steps of calendering a substrate in a label format of polyvinyl chloride construction material having a front surface and an obverse surface so as to induce a static charge therein, imprinting said obverse surface with indicia of a selected content identifying a bottle source of a selected cocktail, providing an initial operative position of said label with said obverse surface thereof in a static-induced attachment to a surface of a cocktail glass in a restaurant environment, filling said cocktail glass with a cocktail having an informational relation to said indicia imprinted on said label obverse surface, removing said label from said cocktail glass, and providing a subsequent operative position of said label on a plastic surface available to said restaurant patron in a duplicated static-induced attachment thereto, whereby said label undergoes transport with said restaurant patron to contribute to subsequent use of said informational content of the label.
