The label seen on the bottle in Star Trek: Nemesis was designed by Monica Fedrick. [1]

Two Chateau Picard wine bottles were sold as Lot #27 in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The winner paid US$6,600, even though the pre-sale estimate was 500 to 700 dollars. After the sale, the auctioneer remarked "That's probably a record for empty wine bottles."

A deleted scene from Star Trek Nemesis showed Picard sharing a quiet drink of the wine with Data after Riker's wedding.
