BYO Wine
Filed Under Wine Packaging Design | Leave a Comment
The aim was to create a unique gift to give our clients at Christmas and to act as a new business introduction. It needed to remind them of who we are and the long hours that we put into our work. It needed to feature all of our staff, reflect our creativity and sense of humor. The print run was 5000 labels.
We obtained high quality cleanskin wines and created our own labels. Each label was based on one staff member. It included a number of facial features and the client is encouraged to BYO - Build Their Own. The wine and the label is the perfect substitute for when the real thing cannot be there.

Gourmet Wines Designed For Cooking
Filed Under Wine Innovation | Leave a Comment
Opportunity awaits those who can make consumers’ lives easier, as countless innovations prove every day. Take choosing a wine. We’ve already seen several efforts to simplify the process of finding a good one for drinking—including, among many other approaches, a classification system that uses colours and numbers—and now California-based Académie Culinary Wines aims to do the same for wines that will be used in cooking.
Académie wines are sourced directly from California’s premier wine regions. With the help of gourmet chefs, the company has developed a line including four blends that are designed to make culinary creations the best they can possibly be. Blend #1, for example, is designed for use in red sauces and meat dishes. Blend #2, meanwhile, targets seafood, poultry and pork. Blend #3 aims to complement beef and poultry marinades, while Blend #4 is for game bird, fish and lamb.
All Académie wines are highly suitable for drinking as well, the company says, and are packaged in a convenient, waste-proof 375mL size that’s still ample for tasting while the cooking proceeds. To facilitate the culinary magic, the Académie site includes a variety of recipes geared toward each of the wines in its line.
Available online and from select California retailers, Académie wines come in single 375mL bottles for USD 7.99 each or sampler packs of four for USD 28.76. Shipping is currently available only within California.

Eurocave SoWine Bar
Filed Under Wine Packaging Design | 1 Comment
Exactly how long a bottle of wine keeps after it’s been opened is a question that has no easy answer, but Eurocave’s SoWine bar aims to extend the shelf-life of your half-empty bottles for up to 10 days.
Designed as both a preservation and storage system it has two compartments, each with independent temperature control settings, and vacuum seal technology so you can keep a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine at the same time.

Handmade Italian Wine Carafe
Filed Under Wine Packaging Design | Leave a Comment
Thankfully just because a person wants to be green and support recycling doesn’t mean they have to compromise on style and quality.
This Italian Carafe and set of wine glasses is a great example of having the best of both worlds. Handmade of recycled glass in Portland, this set is processed in an electric furnace that’s powered 100% by eco-friendly wind power. No two pieces are the same but they all have the beautiful foggy white color variations and charming, slightly misshapen organic appeal.
Get the carafe alone for $174, or with a set of 4 glasses for $370.
