Premium Wine Club Labeling

1. The Project

The Sobon Wine Company has been perfecting the art of winemaking in Amador County for over 40 years and boasts a premium wine club that showcases specialty wines from hand picked barrels of the best varietals and best vintages. I was asked to remake their wine club labels to help set them appart from their other wines and give the club wines a look that reflected the exclusive and specialty character of the ReZerve® Club. 

2. The Goals

Take their established logo for the club and give it a sleek and elegant new label.
Make a label that would look nice on both high-shoulder and low-shoulder bottles without having to change the die-line every season.
Maintain consistant branding between the fonts and styles of their current labels so that their brand stays coherent even with the new label style.

Designing

When digging through older labels that the company used in the 90's, I found a design of "The ReZerve®" logo that was foiled. The current ReZerve® labels didn't use any foil and I loved the look of the foiled "Z" which made my decicion for me to bring it back. Instead of the vintage yellow label background, I swiched it to a black label to give the club wines that elegant, premium look. The die-line I took from another one of the labels that they were already printing to save costs on cutting a new die-line and chose this style since it is flattering on both the taller and shorter bordeaux bottles. I also chose this label size becuase of the popular style of smaller labels on more specialty bottles. 

Final

We recived great feed back from our long-time club members who loved the new look especially because we changed the club packaging when we changed the new labels to match the design of the two. As much as I think the new label itself was a success, it wouldn't have had as big of an impact on the customer experience if we had not changed the club box as well. The budget and timeline didn't allow for custom printing on the box but I used available resources to create a functional club box that helped staff see which club seasons the boxes were and give customers a great experience.
