For years, the wine industry has lobbied its way into mainstream entertainment. It’s about time we saw some type being discussed! Check out this wonderful clip from White Collar, where detectives identify a suspect by the typography he leaves behind.

I believe all their typeface names are wrong in the clip. Most of that looks like Helvetica maybe? Also hard to tell on this clip but I’ve been told their cards all spell “Acquisitions” wrong. Still a great clip and an awesome movie. I’ve seen an article on these graphic design errors somewhere. Can someone point us to a good link?
