Paper Airplane Red 2

Paper Airplane Red is a private label red blend from Portugal. This low price point wine is designed to compete for shelf space with other wines that have a similar look of nostalgic, DIY inspired look to their labels. Utilizing spare production techniques and materials, the “lo-fi” look it fits in well with this trend.

Go Wine Tasting With Your Dog

Go Wine Tasting With Your Dog

Wine tasting isn’t usually an activity you can enjoy with your dog but the Kunde Family Estate in Kentwood, California changes that. The family winery offers a series of hikes meant to be experienced with your friendly canine at your side. Tours are conducted by Jeff Kunde, a fourth generation winegrower, and include a moderately strenuous hike from the Sonoma Valley floor up to 1,400 feet into the Mayacamas Mountain range.

You and your dog will enjoy beautiful wine country views and learn about the Kunde Family Estate’s sustainable winegrowing practices. After all the hard work you are rewarded with a wine tasting and a box lunch with a view. Hikes are scheduled for May 15, July 3 and Oct 9 and cost $45. A portion of the fee is donated to Canine Companions and Sonoma County Humane Society.

La Espera “The Wait” Reserva

tridimage-la-espera-reserva

Buenos Aires-based Tridimage was commissioned by Bodega Funckenhausen to create brand identity and packaging design for its brand La Espera “The Wait” Reserva.

The words of the poet Inés Fernández Moreno, embodied in the label accurately describe the soul of this design:

“A dream is forged with the most noble of a man. It grows and maintains over years. And when at last it has wings, it seeks his destiny. A terroir to hug him, a climate to raise it, and a patient surrender to time. Thus was born La Espera “The Wait”: a dream fulfilled”

Aznoms Wine Chiller

Aznom Wine Chiller

Having last minute guests and being without a properly chilled bottle of wine or champagne can be frustrating, but with Aznom’s new Chiller you can be ready on nearly a moment’s notice.

The Chiller can chill up to two bottles of wine, liquor (or whatever else) at a time and will take them from room temperature to the preferred chilled temp in as little as 6-7 minutes.

Plus it comes in a compact and stylish design that’s customizable by color and material (high gloss, leather, carbon fiber) and can easily double as an end table when not in use.

Naked King Wine

Naked King Wine 2

Naked King Wine 3

Brief: a new winemaker contacted us in order to provide a visual identity to their new wine. The wine is of extremely high quality, but free from any filtering or chemical treatments So it sits there exposed, without any chemical aid for the consumer to taste it.

Solution: “you could say that it was the king of wines …but a sincere one.” the client said. That reminded us of the Hans Christian Andersen tale “The Emperor’s clothes” where the king sits naked and exposed for everyone to see who he really was. So we decided to name the wine “NAKED KING”. In order to visually present that, we designed the label of the bottle shaped like a crown and embossed the title NAKED KING instead of printing it. We wanted to show that way it would seem like a naked king, without anything on. For the wooden box we silk printed in the front the tale with big type like in a child book and highlighted the words “The king is naked”.
