5 Eye-Catching Wine Bottle Label Designs

With so many bottles of wine on the market, the competition is fierce. According to Wine Spectator, 36 billion bottles of wine are produced worldwide each year alone and 31.4 billion bottles of wine are purchased around the world annually. With so many bottles of wine to choose from, you need to make sure that your wine stands out above the rest.

What Makes a Bottle Eye-Catching?

Even though we’re told not to judge a book by its cover, many of us are guilty of it. The same goes for wine bottle labels. If a wine label isn’t appealing or interesting, we may not even notice it. If the label looks cheap or unattractive, we may assume that the wine tastes poorly and was inexpensive to make. According to an article published by Minnesota Public Radio (NPR), carefully crafted labels can trick consumers into thinking that a bottle of wine is much more expensive than it actually is. If they think the wine is expensive, they’ll have a much more enjoyable experience with it. The article also discusses ways in which wine bottles can look $10 more expensive than they actually are, which makes shoppers believe that they’re getting a great value. Often times, gold foil or a gold stamping is added to the label. Labels with cream or white backgrounds and simple logos tend to look more expensive. Gold or metal can also create a more sophisticated feel.

Make Your Label Stand Out

Custom wine labels are incredibly important in the competitive wine industry. According to NPR, people are more likely to prefer the taste of a wine if they are attracted to the product label. The same goes for the price—people have been shown to enjoy the taste of the wine more if they think they’re drinking a high-end bottle of wine versus an inexpensive bottle of wine. With this information in mind, you may be wondering how you can make your wine label look appealing, creative, and expensive. Thankfully, we can take a few hints from the top 5 best-selling wines in the world!
