View Full Version : Comic based wine labels

Hey all,
In a nutshell: My wife is a big fan of wine, and my brother-in-law bottles his own on a large scale. So we bought a couple dozen cases of wine off him, and now I've got 200+ bottles sitting in a nifty fridge in my basement. Problem is, they're all different types of red wine, they're unlabeled, and aside from the cap color, there's no way to tell them apart.

I apparently had too much free time, became inspired, and made my own labels. I tried to keep a consistency among them, have them all comic related, and tried to tie the name and/or primary color of the character used to the color of the cap, while at the same time using names that could potentially be the name of an actual wine. So names like "the Dark Knight" was used, where "Batman" was not.

Check em out:

That’s really awesome! The Rorshach one sounds like it’ll taste like man sweat and dirt.

Thanks guys.
They were fun to make, and gave me a reason to enjoy the wine as well since I'm more of a Beer or Dr. Pepper drinker. Wife wasn't crazy about the concept, but agrees they look good on the bottle. I'll refrain from giving her Kwok's Rorshach review however. ;)

Recent Logo and skech threads inspired me. Enjoy the weekend! :)
