1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +4
peer agreement (net): +4medal / award stickers Explanation: This is what they are (as Tony has indicated), and this is what they're called. Here are some French pages with illustrations of "macarons": "Commander des macarons" Vous êtes médaillé au Concours de Bordeaux ? Félicitations ! Depuis 2014, le Concours de Bordeaux a sécurisé ses macarons." https://www.concours-de-bordeaux.com/producteurs-vin/command... "Sur la bouteille, l’obtention du label se manifeste par un macaron ou un étiquetage particulier." You can see the roll of round stickers on a backing here. https://www.leprogres.fr/rhone-69-edition-villefranche-et-be... "Concours Mondial sees a remarkable increase in medal sticker orders The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles (CMB) has reported a 20% rise in orders of medal sticker rolls in 2018 compared to the previous year. “Medal stickers have a positive effect on both the consumer and the trade”, says Julia Kostadinova, a CMB panel member and editor in-chief of the Bulgarian magazine Divino. “People definitely pay attention to an award sticker. [...]"" https://concoursmondial.com/en/concours-mondial-sees-a-remar... "Award stickers can make you think the wine tastes better" https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/food-news/10677... "“I only ever buy a bottle of wine if it’s got a sticker on it”, explained a student in my wine class. [...] I read the sticker, “Supplied to the Graham Norton Show”. While that’s an endorsement of sorts it doesn’t give me quite the same reassurance as a gold medal sticker from a reputable wine competition or respected, independent wine critic." https://www.therealreview.com/2013/06/01/bottle-stickers/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-02-19 22:13:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As you say, the médaille is the medal, but an order for 1000 "maracons" is not for 1000 medals or medallions but for 1000 medal stickers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-02-19 22:26:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A "macaron" is not always a sticker; it can be a lapel button, but it usually is. It can be a car windscreen sticker. "- Familier. Rosette d'une décoration ou insigne distinctif quelconque, de forme ronde, portés à la boutonnière. - Familier. Vignette, insigne distinctifs de certaines professions, en particulier à caractère officiel ou administratif, que l'on appose sur le pare-brise d'une voiture. - Vignette autocollante à caractère publicitaire, que l'on colle sur une surface (vitre, voiture)." https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/macaron/48290... And it isn't always an award or medal sticker (like the Bordeaux ones in my first reference): "Les Professionnels du Liège annoncent le lancement d'un macaron spécifique apposé sur le devant d'une bouteille de vin fermée par un bouchon en liège. " https://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2010/10/14/927390-macaron-s... However, in your case it must be a medal sticker: a representation of the medal in the form of a (round) sticker to be stuck on the bottle. |
