The Design

About The Wine Barrel Dilemma Packaging

A package that ends the dilemma of buying red or white wine. Wine enthusiasts are now able to enjoy both wines in one package, a design that features a handle and accommodates two barrels, each one with its own tap that enhances the wine tasting experience. The concept follows the wine out of the box design, which is the notion of moving wine from the big barrel to a smaller barrel so as to not lose its natural habitat.

Interviews

Design Interview

What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

Creating a package with two separate containers, one for red and one for white wine, with two different orifices, in a container which reminds us of the place where great wines are born, the barrel.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

We wanted to end the dillema of choosing a red or white wine. Now you can enjoy both in one packaging.

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

To break the stereotypes of a bottled wine being better than a packaged wine and make it easier for people to be able to buy both white and red wine.

Production Technology
TheWineBarrel offers an easy to carry handle, allowing it to become a perfect gift for visiting friends or family, while its tap makes serving as simple as pouring water on a glass.
Design Challenge
The wooden wine barrel is converted to the main reference point of the brand, which differentiates it from the competition. Robust and absolute typography, special symbols, pyrographic markings, and handwritten elements transport the consumer to an imaginary cellar. In his own barrel. In the world of The Wine Barrel.
The color palette and the different symbolisms clearly separate the 4 product codes on the shelf, but retaining the "common denominator" of the relevant design.
Research
There are a lot of dividing opinions, even between good friends. A lot of times having a good time with company relies on decisions between choices, dilemmas. Our mission was to solve the problem of wine choosing, a very common dilemma found amongst most friendly gatherings, while, simultaneously, reversing the established idea that quality wine can only exist in a glass container.
