How the spell check tool falls short

Many thanks to those of you who are leaving such supportive and insightful comments for me during this time of personal turmoil! Your words are more helpful than I can even begin to explain. It just helps so much to know I'm not crazy, and I'm not alone in this struggle.

That said, it's time to lighten the mood a little bit around here.

Okay, class... today's lesson: why you should never rely on spell check alone to proofread your documents.

As I tried to drown my sorrows this past weekend, I took to reading the lovely wine bottle I was drinking from. (I wasn't drinking from the wine bottle, per se. I did use a wine glass. I wasn't that miserable.)

I found the front label to be quite visually appealing. As I was studying the horse figure and wondering if it is supposed to be a unicorn, I twirled the bottle around to read the description on the back. Thought maybe there'd be some insight there.

There wasn't. But guess what....I found a major error!  Take a look for yourself:

Maybe the winemaker was really trying to get his point across about how to pair the wine. But I'm guessing the writer didn't really read the finished product.

I think I am missing my calling as a copy editor. Sheesh, I'm a freak.

Editor's note: 

Yes! Danielle wins! (Her assessment is in the comments.) The label incorrectly reads "...they will find that the wine compliments many dishes from winter hearty stews and roasts to from winter hearty stews and roasts to summer grilled meats and barbeques." (emphasis added)

The same phrase was repeated twice!

But here's the real kicker: that's the incorrect usage of the word 'compliments.' It should say 'complements.'

From Dictionary.com: 

"Complement and compliment, though quite distinct in meaning, are sometimes confused because they are pronounced the same. As a noun, complement means "something that completes or brings to perfection" (The antique silver was a complement to the beautifully set table); used as a verb it means "to serve as a complement to." The noun compliment means "an expression or act of courtesy or praise" (They gave us a compliment on our beautifully set table), while the verb means "to pay a compliment to."

Yes, I am an total freak for stuff like this. In fact, I'm kind of embarrassing myself right now.
