As I awoke, halfway through Saturnalia, I noticed this theme on the SML, the sun, sundials and wine. I will toast to that. Let me draw your attention to the terminator sundials developed by our friends, Joel, Fer and Mac. Sundials normally have a gnomon that casts a shadow. Pifft!. The sun and a wine bottle is all you need. The shadow at the edge of the bottle tells the time. Here the terminator rules.
To design a sundial as a wine bottle label go to the NASS DeltaCAD macros here. http://www.sundials.org/deltacad/index.html . Look for the AZ nomograph or more specifically http://www.sundials.org/deltacad/zips/Az-nomograph-Plus-Bab-It.zip. Extract it and go with DeltaCAD, even the free demo. There macros are easy to hack to suit you purposes and give you wine bottle labels suitable for any location and occasion. I prefer option 7, the wine glass shape. a feminine profile. After all, this is Saturnalia, the festival following the celebration of the return of the unconquered sun, Sol Invictus. Until we celebrate again next year, best wishes, Sol Invictus
