Wine in a box is so tacky, despite the improvement in many of the designs. A fresh way to serve up wine in a box are these smart “Bag-In-A-Bag” white, red and rosé wines from Vernissage of Sweden.
Vernissage Wine In A Handbag
Innovative Wine Packaging.
French wines packaged in stylish looking handbags – a fabulous idea for birthday parties, Bridal Showers, Fashion Shows, concerts, picnics, conferences and more.
Packaging French wines into a case that looks like a chic handbag, complete with tap or spout was such a clever design, it won the 2010 “Most Innovative” in the Carton Awards 2010 and a prestigious gold award in the Pentawards, the world´s largest packaging design competition.
The White: 2011 Chardonnay Viogner from France
Vernissage has a young, fresh and aromatic bouquet with hints of fruits such as apple, citrus, pineapple and vanilla. The flavour is dry, flowery and very fruity with the essence of pear, citrus, tropical fruits and vanilla.
Vernissage makes an excellent aperitif, but goes well with flavourful fish and shellfish dishes, especially with Asian influences of lime and ginger.
The Red: 2010 Syrah Cabernet Sauvigon from France
Vernissage Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark red wine. Inviting fruity scent with notes of spices, tones of ripe berries, black current, blackberries and herbs as well as chocolate and barrels. Goes well with red and white meat, pasta, poultry and aged cheese.
The Rosé: 2011 Syrah Rosé from France
The French Vernissage Syrah Rosé is a lively and fresh rosé wine from the region Pays d’Oc in southern France. With a hint of raspberries and blackberries in the flavor, it has a herblike finish. The generously fruity aroma has notes of wild red berries. Vernissage Syrah Rosé is perfect as an aperitif, but is also suitable for fish, seafood or light chicken salad.
The Bag-in-Bag wine Vernissage has taken both wine-lovers and the press by storm, in Sweden as well as internationally. The successful project was created by Takis Soldatos, Oenoforos, in cooperation with Sofia Blomberg Art Direction & Design. The result is elegant design combined with high quality wines from the French wine region Pays d’Oc.
The thought behind Vernissage is a playful approach to the curious and modern wine consumer. At the same time, a woman´s touch has propelled the Bag-in-Bag wine from the practical to the elegant.
