This is the second series of stainless steel from Wescott and like the first series (I ordered them at the same time) it came with a sticker/tag on the cork backing. Pooh! It took a while but I peeled off the label piece by piece with minimal scratches on the cork. This is a great product and I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the label on the cork (and now with light scratches on the cork).
