Wine labels designed by Lavernia & Cienfuegos

The wine corks were dressed up to create forms that resemble the countries. These include a koala bear to represent Australian wine, an elephant to represent South African wine, and a Trojan to represent Italy.
“The cork is a sign of humility, an object of little value, often used as craft material, as a simple and easily manipulated element with which to play and create. The use of cork gives it the air of something simple, typical of an everyday product. The cap is the element that unifies and personalizes the whole range,” wrote the design studio on its site.
