1821 Vintage Bolgrad Sparkling Wine
The Bolgrad brand embodies the essence of the southern regions of the Ukrainian coast: light atmosphere, great climate and good winemaking. The year 1821, which is indicated on the label and is its centerpiece, is the year the city of Bolgrad, located in the Odessa region in the south of the country, was founded. Bolgrad is the first Ukrainian producer who decided to bring to the market a sparkling wine in a lower and wider bottle, which is more typical of western producers. The design of this product reflects progressiveness, high status and adherence to European traditions of winemaking.

Botella de Vino Series of Spanish wines
The name of the product - Botella de Vino - was embodied on four different levels. First, it's the product itself, which is a "bottle of wine" per se. Second, it's the name of the product, which bears the same meaning. Third, it's the stylized image of a wine bottle on the label. Fourth, it's the use of writings spelling "botella de vino" that form the bottle shape. Thanks to this visual recursion, the only thing the buyer is looking at no matter how close or far they are from the product is a "wine bottle".
