Yes, this is going to be a visual treat for those
who like to drink.
Had been to this liquor store in Colorado, with my
friends. This is supposed to be the largest liquor store in Colorado and has
been there for almost half a decade.
While my friends were picking up their bottles, I
took a stroll around the store. I was fascinated by the colourful labels that
some of the bottles had.
Designing a label (especially for a bottle)
requires ingenuity. For example this one
of Skinny Girl has four varieties, and the one which says “Island Coconut”
makes it look like as if half a coconut is inside the bottle.
The shape and the size of the bottle too have to
match the name, when you compare this with the Livingston.
This Momo Kawa reminded me of my school days when
I used to come home with ink sprays on my uniform almost everyday to the exasperation
of my mother.
The collection of bottles here is from all over
the world. Like the Vieux Telegraphe which
is from France
The label of Alice White makes it obvious that it
is from Australia
More from Australia
I like this simple sketch and the colour scheme
used for these Red Wine bottles (they are from north eastern Spain)
Cono Sur from Chile – the bicycle represents their
spirit of innovation, passion, commitment and respect for environment.
Maybe M F Hussein could have thrown some light about the
drawing on the label of Lagar.
Like this simple design of the Wine from Germany
(Riesling) Wonder what that conch is doing at the top.
This bottle has a painting by the famous artist
Gaby Hahn.
This Pinot Grigio is made from grapes hand
selected from some of the best sites along the Italian border in Slovenia.
A Chianti wine is produced in the Chianti
region in central Tuscany.
The Ladoucette family have been producing wines
for over 600 years in their 165 hectare estate of Chateau di Nozet in Pouilly
(France)
What a unique way to name a brand. Seven Daughters
is a blend of seven carefully chosen grape varieties, crafted together into a
sophisticated yet fun wine.
Flame Thrower will attract any one’s attention. Schnapps
is a term that refers to any kind of strong alcoholic beverage. The English
“schnapps” is derived from the German Schnaps.
Liqueurs are a class apart. What a way to seal a
bottle. Reminds me of the good old Post Office and their seal and the sealing wax.
This Hazelnut Liqueur has a story. According to
legend Frangelico lived three centuries ago in a hilly area bound by the river
Po. He lived as a hermit and through his love of nature and knowledge of its
secrets, created unique recipes for liqueurs. The most precious one of all was
one of liqueur made from wild hazelnuts with infusions of berries and flowers
to enrich the flavour.
Well, the shape of the bottle looks convincing
which includes the Cincture around the waist. (Brother Juniper?)
Another one from Ireland, Saint Brendan’s Irish
Cream Liqueur.
Like this container of Corn Whisky
Are these mugs for the Moscow Mule? I don’t know
but these copper mugs are a familiar sight in pubs. The christening of the
Moscow Mule is an interesting story as per Wikipedia
This may look like some fancy stuff but these
Vinocopia Wines has developed a barrel in which you can store your wine. So
when guests arrive, you can fill their glass from a tap. Ever wondered how the wine is stored in this wooden barrel?
OK, all this is coming from a teetotaler, so you may
have to verify the authenticity of all what I said above.
Cheers J
