Wine design




«Colier» is limited collection of sparkling wine: 23 bottles of luxury sets (bottle + presentation box) and 5 premium (handmade bottle + cocoon container). The target audience was business women and we all know that champagne is female drink. After brainstorming we choose collar as name, because it describes the idea of collection very good and also can be played in designs. For Brut we used classic square box form and for Vintage Brut we created the cocoon. All the weight of cocoon is focused in his bottom part that's why it don't turn upside down and it also keeps cold inside before opening.



Mayrah Wine, Taltarni Vineyards

The wine is from Australia, and Mayrah means Spring in aboriginal language. The animals are jumping up because they are so happy that spring has finally come.

These are gorgeous designs, the colours are grate and I think reflect the climate of Australia. This also demonstrates how the design style has been applied to a wider range of packaging and stationary. This is something I am defiantly considering for expanding the ISTD brief.



Logan Wines Signature Range
Each label featured an illustration depicting the different tasting notes of a varietal, the various flavours and after tastes. This was brought to life using dimensional embroidery, an incredibly time consuming yet beautiful type of embroidery. A fitting metaphor for the care and attention to detail Logan bautifully crafts into their make.



"Graphic designer Jordan Jelev of Factor R Studio, known as ‘The Labelmaker’, has redesigned the label for Bulgarian wine +359. The range, by Villa Lyubimets winery, is named after the country’s international phone code and the font is based on the one used by Bulgarian Post in the 1960s, giving the wine strong national appeal.

‘I wanted everyone not only to see this label as an image, but to feel it and sense it with their fingers " that’s why I used puff-up transparent varnish to make the biggest possible relief structure on the logo,’ Jelev said.

A selective transparent UV matt varnish is applied on the pattern of circles around the logo against glossy background and a transparent puff-up varnish on the +359 logo to create the appearance of wave lines. The label is bordered with a glossy hot foil stamp, and there are some tiny hot foil dots around the logo as well.

The label was screen-printed by Rotoprint in Bulgaria on Fasson MC Plus."



I haven't found a description for the below product. However I have included it on my blog because I think it is a fun way of using the paper format and rotating binding technique.












The packaging of this wine looks very natural I like the rustic, vintage appearance as well. This would probably appeal well to the target audience to because most wine drinkers think wine tastes better with age.
