Über-cool illustrator Von has turned his skills to providing an illustration for a new french wine brand:

Design Bridge, in collaboration with illustrator Von, has created the identity for Deesse, a new red wine produced by client Domaines Sacha Lichine under its Chateau D’Esclans label.

Pretty cool, especially compared to the rest of the Chateau D’Esclans range of wines. Love to get our hands on a bottle.

Whilst searching for an image to illustrate the previous post, we stumbled upon these adverts for Hochriegl sparkling wine.

It’s official: 42% of women are superficial.

Okay, maybe that’s twisting the statistics a little. But these figures in the Guardian go some way to showing just how important the design of wine is to the wine-buying public.

Women choose and buy eight out of every 10 bottles of wine that are drunk at home, according to figures out today. […] When it comes to choosing wines, women said they were driven mainly by price (74%), followed by the type of grape (64%), the country of origin (55%) and more superficial trappings such as the label (42%).

Superficial trappings are the lifeblood of Grogger, so hurrah for those women! That’s right, you choose the pretty one, love.

We’re not sure if these designs by Moruba have actually been produced, but we love the simplicity of them. Seen via Swiss Miss where someone has commented that they look similar to these designs for Mondavi wines by Dave Warner based on musical notations…
