My latest label creation. More of my daughter's original art. You can't see the black border and black capsule but somehow the black worked well with the light green bottles of Chardonnay.

I'm working on designing my label designs for our non-grape wines which will be marketed as "Prairie Elements" wines. Here's one I worked up for my apple. It will be a one-piece wrap around label.

I received notice from my son 18 months ago to start his Wedding wine. He purposed to to my future Daughter in Law last fall at a state park near Mount Rainier. I made these labels for the wine!

Pinot Grigio



Pinot Noir


The wine turned out GREAT!!!!!
and there's some "Proud Pappa Syndrome" going on here

Congratulations to you and your children. Hope you made a lot of bottles, they look like they'll be a very popular souvenir.

Can anyone tell me if this label is appropriate for wine?

The label is appropriate - I like it. Your ABV might not be though. That is, unless you're making a Port.

Not sure what you mean by "appropriate," unless you are referring to the word "Flaming" which, in addition to meaning hot or on fire, has come to mean a number of things:

a. to verbally attack
b. a blatant sexual orientation
c. a British modifier similar to our "frigging"

In any case I would not worry about it. The graphic in the label makes your intention clear. I am interested, however, in how you got it to 20% ABV. Did you fortify the wine?

Also, the label may have a typo if the grapes were Barbera-Merlot and not Barbara-Merlot.

@_bryan: I really love the simple elegance of that label. Nice job.

Did you mean Barbera, rather than Barbara?

 

[_bryan]

Thanks a lot =)

Thanks for catching that typo, I didn't realize it. I did not fortify the wine I just added a lot of sugar in it to make it a sweet wine, and in turn it raised to ABV to 20%.

Just curious, but how did you determine that the ABV ended up at 20%?

i calculated the ABV with the starting gravity and ending gravity of the wine.

 

[Just-a-Guy]

i calculated the ABV with the starting gravity and ending gravity of the wine.

Thanks for the reply. I'd be interested to try to reach that ABV - do you mind sharing what the start and end SG's were, and the kind of yeast you used?

My starting gravity was around 1.170, yes very high. I did put a little too much sugar in, but it turned out great. My ending gravity is 1.020. The yeast was just a Red Star Pasteur Red Wine Yeast.
