Weingut Metzger – “Funky Labels” und gelungene Weine!

Das Auge trinkt mit, denke ich manchmal. Und dabei beziehe ich mich meistens nicht auf die Farbe des Weins, sondern auf die Gestaltung des Etiketts. Das klingt jetzt vielleicht dilettantisch, vor allem in den Ohren der Weinsnobs, doch wenn ich ohne Informationen die Wahl zwischen 2 scheinbar gleichwertigen Flaschen habe, dann wähle ich – wie fast jeder Konsument – die mit dem ansprechenderen Etikett.

Funky Labels: Phillip Heinz, a Newcomer with bright ideas!

Always refreshing to see newcomers with not only solid wines, but also with fresh ideas for marketing and packaging.

Wild Thing, you make my heart sing. But this one is definitely also one for the eye. Winemaker Anthony Hammond, who is a buyer of grapes in Oestrich-Winkel, Rheingau, has always shown a weakness for original and catchy packaging. Just check his online-shop. Read the rest of this entry »

Naughty, Naughty Girl!

Just wondering what the marketing guys thought when they launched this brand. Is the strategy based on the presumption that anyone likes a naughty girl? Well, as I said in a previous posting, I’m a taker of funky labels but I didn’t buy that one. Seen in a wineshop in Stellenbosch.
