Do You Judge Wine By Its Packaging?

Red, white, rosé, sparkling or still, whatever your wine preference, there is plenty of choice. If you buy directly from the source, there is often a chance to try before you buy. However, this is rarely the case in supermarkets and shops. For this reason, we have to judge wine by its packaging.

The Importance of Wine Packaging

With purchasing decisions being made on packaging alone, brands need eye-catching designs to stand apart.

It’s important to understand what appeals to the target customers. Then, communicate that message in the styling. That includes typeface, colours, imagery and information. Brands draw inspiration from many sources including heritage, flavour notes or food pairings.
