Farm Frenzy. The whole barnyard on wine labels

Neighbor to testify bought for the grandchildren entertainment, hens and a cock of this – and this is something new. These chickens all day for something kvohchut, and the cock crows. True, the alarm clock while throwing early – the first time a rooster wakes up at ten o’clock, and then screams – when he wants. But this, I tell you, it is extremely unusual for the urban sounds of the ear. I always find myself at that smile when he is put.

Home animals are not left out of the life of modern urban man – it is necessary to leave for the summer in the countryside. Cheerful and representatives of the twin-odd-toed ungulates, as well as lots of poultry, waterfowl and small, all the time caught on my way out of town to the country. It is not that right, “fat cattle”. More and more – liquid, but flocks of geese, harsh, or small community of fugitive sheep. But still – stray pigs, cut on the country road cars gardeners.

Well, that is, you understand – now we have to be wine blog whose authors love this whole animals to such a degree that placed the portraits of the inhabitants of the agricultural farm on the labels of their wines. And I understand them – first, the wine industry from agriculture and animal husbandry are not so far away, and secondly, all these svintusy, bulls, goats and roosters are … charismatic! So, last time was a separate horses on a wine label , and before that – dogs , but today – the whole farmyard, complete set of characters, let’s go.

The Spanish Farm

We say – when cancer at Mount svisnet, while in Spain – when a pig fly. Impossible, said his Spanish wine farm La Granja 360 (Farm 360) and made ​​a “flying pig” – an inexpensive, 10 euros, Tempranillo, which is still fairly Robert Parker rated highly .

And it is within the accepted logic of the impossible, on the labels of Syrah wine is placed a cock, carrying eggs. And, of course, gold – obviously based on not weak earnings from the crop.

Seven Argentine cows

This label design studio from Dizen Argentine wine Siete Vacas . Wine Name means “seven cows” – not without reference to the biblical seven fat cows. Cartoon pictures are very nice, and won one of the top places at the next international competition package.

French black sheep

We – the black sheep, “they” – the black sheep, wineries like to emphasize originality of his guilt. Around the world can meet and even wine winery called Black Sheep.

For example, the Black Sheep Winery French Le Grand Noir – from a very famous British-American studio Stranger And Stranger , which specializes in the design of packaging for wine and other alcohol. (For example, they did label for Argentine wines of Michel Rolland , and their label with a sea monster – spiced rum for a Rum Kraken – has won all imaginable awards in competitions of packaging design in 2010.)

Another version of their design with the black sheep – a wine of the same brand, and at the bottom – already the Greeks.

Another Black Sheep

But this black sheep no one has yet taken over – the project proposal of the American designer Cory Loven potential for Cabernet Sauvignon any California winery, which decides to put under that label, its most extraordinary vintage. Pink color of this gloomy character, obviously, is intended to podcherkunut idea of ​​a pariah.

California goats

Another label – already with a goat . The elegant bottle is decorated with animal producers in California. Wine Goats Trail Zinfandel 2008 Silver received a package in the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, 2011.

African goats

Again goats. The famous South African wine company Goats do Roam wines launched on the market with a new, well-styled motifs of traditional African art, a label.The old label The Goats do Roam Wine Company were in the Gothic style of engraving, but the goats on them, “wandering” not less than convincing.

And below – another label of the same brand – goat godfather to blend Sangiovese, Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon – Goats do Roam in not forget the wine – it’s fun:

Hungarian bull’s blood

Bulls Blood – by this bloodthirsty, but not released the name honest one wine in the world. For example, expressive wine labels Bikaver Egri , produced in the Hungarian regions of Eger and Szekszárd.

According to legend, the Hungarians, drinking wine, mixed with bovine blood demonstrated an unprecedented determination and courage in defending the fortress of the native forces many times greater than the Turks. The image of a bull in red and black palette perfectly expresses the idea of ​​passion, strength and courage.

Rooster for the French

Finally, this handsome (still waiting for the owner) – we know already from the studio Stranger And Stranger . They published another original label – for the soul. For the French soul, Shanti Claire – a gift from the British and American designers winemakers in France. In the end, with the monopoly of Chianti on the image of this wondrous bird’s high time to stop.
