Wine Bottle Labels

B Frank Wine
The best part about B Frank Wine’s label is the part you add yourself. If it’s time for a heart-to-heart with a friend, co-worker or lover, this is the bottle you want to have handy. Just be frank, speak your mind and get it out in the open. This design is the work of Talia Cohen for the B Frank digital marketing agency.

Honey Moon Wine


Designer Lauren Golembiewski created the Honey Moon Wine concept as an annual gift to past and prospective clients in celebration of a budding summer. The “honey moon” is the first full moon of the month of June, known as the perfect moment to begin the harvest of honey. While the bottle is certainly an achievement of its own, Golembiewski also created the honey moon font.

Lazarus Wine


While this label may be a tough read for the layman, its design is strikingly attractive to those who cannot understand its language. The Lazarus Wine bottle features a label printed in big, bold braille with either a black or yellow background. There is an English description at it’s base!

Let It Grow Wine

Brazilian design firm LetItGrow wanted to reach out to their clients with a special gift. The designers took 100 empty wine bottles, painted them white and then illustrated each bottle by hand. Before delivering the unique work of art, they wrapped each unit in a vacuum-sealed black plastic label with a description about its contents.

Lunar Vine Wine
Lunar Vine Wine wanted to add a dash of color to their bottles– who better to hire, then, than UK design firm DeathByColor? DBC created these wild wine bottles as lush and colorfully explosive as they could be. While this tends to communicate “these wines taste like soda pop”.

Meeta Paneser Wine



Meeta Panesar’s wine bottle designs were created as an homage to the Op Art movement and the work of artist Joseph Albers. Panesar carried that Op Art tradition into these conceptual wine labels, some flush with color and geometry, others with tightly wrapped black-and-white lines.

Mini Garage Winery
As long as you don’t store these wines in your garage (especially next to the turpentine), you’re in for a tasty treat of packaging design. The Mini Garage Wines and Brandies by Anthony Hammond have a literal conception– Hammond’s wine is produced in a former tractor shop in Germany.

Return Of The Living Red



A collaboration with Redheads Studio and /M/A/S/H/ yielded a bottle called “Return of the Living Red”– a simple, provocative design with a throwback to classic horror films. Save for a seal of blood-red wax over its cork, Return of the Living Red is only adorned with a simple, aged envelope containing clues about the bottle’s contents. The cards within the envelope continue the horror story, showcasing the illustrative handiwork of the /M/A/S/H/ team.

USB Port Wine

Due to a recent law, if a specific wine doesn’t come from Portugal, it can no longer be called “port”. So to sidestep this little legality, Peltier Station Winery and 6 West Design devised the “USB Port Wine”. The label comes as close to saying “port” as possible, without actually saying it– even spelling out “im_ant” and “_folio” on the rear side of the bottle. The binary code above the name on the front also spells out Peltier Station Winery, completing the look on this design.

Very Chic Wine Samplers

All you need to get to know a good wine is to take a slow, calculated and careful sip. Very Chic Wine hopes to make an impression before you sample with this attractive, floral-inspired packaging. For the potential buyers, customers and friends of Very Chic Wine, this packaging certainly makes a strong statement about the quality of the wine contained within.
