That Tierra Earth bottle is cool. Never saw a package with its own terroir before. Hah.

I LOVE the BYO bottle concept. What a great gift! I'm going to remember this one for my next dinner party.

As a designer, may I say, that the design on the outside should be indicative of what's on the inside. While the Tierra Earth bottle is unique, I would hate to find that the wine tasted of dirt and nothing else.

It's possible that it would taste of dirt (earthiness ain't so bad), but I think there's generally a high correlation between design and product quality. If a winery is putting a big effort into it's labels, they're probably not skimping on closures, grape sorting, etc. It's not a guarantee, but it's a fairly good quality indicator in my experience, though not the best quality indicator of course - better to have a real review from a trusted source, and the only way to know for sure is to taste it yourself.

Chris,
Actually I like the taste of a little gravel and funkiness in my wine... after all, my preference is still old world styles. I do agree with you that a producer who is willing to spend a little more on product and closures will often spend a little more on label design to try and make his wine stand out on the shelf. I can't quite get past the label as an indicator of what's in the bottle. I think we should open a bottle and test the quality!

I had a lot of fun designing these labels..........
Actual banknotes from the Civil War era, and each bottle in a case has a different label.

Pete,
What a great idea and execution on The Vault labels. Money on the outside indicates quality and value on the inside. I just produced my first wine (a small group effort). The winery in Bordeaux (Chateau Cantinot) sent me the blending wines and we held a extensive blending session, eventually selecting my cuvee. We named the wine, a 2009 Premier Cotes de Blaye, "Notre Premier Cuvee"... meaning our first blend. It has matured in barrique, been bottled and is on its way here. The consulting winemaker - French winemaker of the year in 2005 said "it has power but with great finesse." After it arrives maybe we should exchange a bottle of "The Vault" for a bottle of "Notre Premier Cuvee."

Nice. My sister and I had a discussion on this the other day, http://twosisterswinetripping.com/2... and though she felt bad for being a label drinker we agreed that we all do it. Love the labels of Aussie brand Alpha Box&Dice, btw.

Wonderful and some of them really original designs, the Earth bottle is really surprising, here i sugest two bottles designed by David Delfín for bodegas Sonsierra, one like a perfume bottle the other like a medicine bottle: http://www.sonsierra.com/tienda/pop...
