Since I started my first wine kit I have been thinking about what labels I'd like to do. I have seen tons of great labels from people on here with pictures, graphics...etc. I was looking into that type and then it hit me. I see labels from store bought wines and they tend to have a theme that runs on all their bottles a symbol or logo.
So I decided to keep mine simple and repetative throughout all my wines. The labels would essentially stay the same with different names. The logo and "winery" name would stay the same and I would change up the wine name based on the type of grapes or fruit. Here's what I came up with.
Keep in mind this is just a first print. I'm thinking of playing around with ink colors and/or paper color to give it more interest.
I came up with the logo several years ago and was going to get a tattoo of it at one point but that never happened. I figured this would be a good use for it. The words are translated into French. "Wines of Dirty Dog (Dawg)" is my "winery" name.
As far as the wine names...I was thinking of what to call the first wine I am making. It is a Sauvignon Blanc/ Pinot Gris blend. I looked up the grapes and what they were, where they were grown. One thing I read was that Sauv Blanc got its name because it was a wild grape that grew in France and Sauvages (Sauvagnon) means wild. I got the bright idea to name my wines after U2 song titles or portions thereof. So I named this one "Wild Horses" translated into French. I'm a big fan of U2 so it was fitting for me. They also have several song titles which I thought would go good for wine names...
lady with the Spinning Head
Numb
Lemon (maybe a skeeter pee)
Love is Blindness
Beautiful Day
Mysterious Ways
The list goes on. Just figured I'd throw this out there and see what you guys thought.
