Christmas time, stuck at uni with wine

I was supposed to go home for Christmas today, which I was very excited about. But due to the snow at home no one can get out to even get me from the train station, let alone come and pick me up from uni. So I'm stuck in the (snowless) grey midlands for another night. Wine to the rescue. I chose this Piat d'or Merlot, simply because I like the label.

I'm not sure who designed it but it really jumped out at me on the shelf. I love the thick and thin strokes of the typeface and the ligatures, and the swirl of the wine in the glass forming the 'o' in d'or. They use a similar design for their white and rosé wine, but the label is the most striking on their red wines, as it contrasts with the colour of the wine and bottle. Hope it tastes good!

  1. The label is a poor attempt at imitating the work of Fabien Baron - see our post http://t.co/QEYnb83Z
