Monster Vineyards

Series of wine packaging with beautiful illustrations (by Belle Melchior), designed by Laurie Millotte, the in-house designer at Brandever.

Lake Okanagan has been long been haunted by the presence of a Loch-Ness-like
sea creature.Can such a formidable beast possibly be a true living creature? We
said "...naaah"! Monster Vineyards exposes the proverbial wizard behind the curtains. It
celebrates the many intricate contraptions that individuals might have conceived
to create such a hoax.We have since spotted many Monsters in the company of tourists. And many
others lurking in dimly lit restaurants across the nation. Our apologies to the believers.

Updated post with closeups of the illustrations after the jump.

The story behind the product is great and well demonstrated in the packaging!

Very cool, very full of fun, yet with some nice elegance to the design as well.

I only wish both the drawings and the product information were a bit easier to make out on some of the bottles -- on the merlot I could see someone standing a few feet away and saying "Ooh, what's this?" before grabbing for a closer look, but some of the others don't pop as well from afar.

The two colors ACL is at its best on the dark Merlot wine bottle. Well done!
