Wine labels

Keeping with the theme of eating out, I was over at a friend’s house for supper and had a couple of glasses of wine (whatever’s coming next must be exciting if its followed by a ‘couple glasses of wine’). Well it was really good wine, and I asked my friend where he got it, turns out he made it himself. I was shocked because, after studying the bottle, his labels looked so professionally done, I was sure it was imported.
 
Sure I was a little buzzed, still, the labels looked great. My friend (who also happens to be a graphic designer) designed himself his own wine labels - just for fun. He says he got the idea when he attended a wedding where the bride and groom gave out homemade wine to their guests. They had labels done with “thank you for attending our wedding” or something along those lines. Since he makes his own wine as well, he decided to make his own labels and give them out as gifts to friends and family.

I think it’s a really cool idea making your own wine even if it’s for your own use – that goes for making your own beer or jam as well. Why not put a label to something you create? Maybe someone will even notice your creation and want to invest in it. Sell a couple of bottles to a few friends, a local shop or even better, the Internet. It can be a fun way to make an extra income.

So start making those labels! Oh and if you don’t know how to make wine, you should probably look into that as well.

    I keep coming back to your blogs and can't get enough. I saw some of your work when you had been to the New York office with Tara, and found the entire logo design process very professional. Your team at logomojo.com has some great and creative people there. Next time you're in NY give me a call and we will do lunch. Ohh - congrants on the Balaski contract, I heard some great things with that!!!
