Wine.

Whilst in the process of my menu I thought it best to start thinking about my wine bottle aswell (before I forget about it).
So while taking a break I had a gander through the world wide web, and managed to find a blog on quirky and creative wine bottle designs. Link features below.

Obviously with me being a bit of a petrol head, this was one that stood out for me. Just the subtle addition of a gear selection beveled image was enough to grab my attention. Labels not too bad either, although I think it could have more elements of car related features added to it.

Another one I thought to be pretty clever, is this boarding pass design label, of which the travel information is replaced by details and info about the wine.
Another one with a subtle addition, this time, with the luggage sticker on the top of the bottle. Simple but effective addition I think.

 Even a wine label for the blind! Even though its not meant to LOOK the part (because its not for those that are entirely able to appreciate design), I still think it looks pretty good, even though its not really meant too.

This is one that doesn't entirely have an element of design, but I like because of what it evokes. Its more of a personal kind of label (personal for the makers of this wine). These collection of wine bottles show the evolution of Matsu's organic wine. How its developed in time. And shown here is how its been passed down in generations from grandfather to father to son. The main point here being three generations of expertise.
