German term or phrase: Anhänger
"Zum Jubiläum des berühmten Stiers werden Anhänger mit einem Reisegutschein für eine Spanienreise auf Weinflaschen von OSBORNE SOLAZ platziert."

They mean the doo-hickey that sometimes hangs round the neck of a wine bottle to advertise something else. I'm sure there's a special name for it.

Anyone know what we call it?

Explanation:
Bottle Neck Tags are an effective and economical way to add value to your product's packaging power. These promotional tags are custom designed to fit on both long and short neck bottles.

labels are hung


Explanation:
When I worked in women's apparel, for each collection I had to prepare labels, which were then attached / hung to the pieces of clothing.
I don't think you need any special term in this case.
