When the economy isn’t cooperating like we would like, it’s always a good idea to start buying generic. But that doesn’t mean any of us need to give up on every kind of label. In fact, by the looks of the winners of this year’s annual label competition, home winemaking never looked so good!
This year, just as in those past, we received many amazing home wine label designs, which always provides a challenge for us to narrow it down to a handful of winners. Our expert panel of judges, after much deliberation, finally agreed on a sky filled with parachuting weiner dogs, a “hare”-itage Bourdeaux blend with bouncing bunnies, something a little classic and simple, and an out-and-out superhero.
Thank you everyone who entered for sharing your imaginative designs with us — it’s always a lot of fun to see everyone’s entries. And many thanks to our sponsors for donating all the great winning prizes.
