Tags
Premium wine, hold a significant value of collection, cultural inheritance, artifact shape with traditional Chinese culture, manufactured by multiple processes.
Production Technology
The bottle's curved symbol related to the tripod uses an embossing process. Visually striking areas in gold, bronze, and red are given a glossy finish, and the dominant black area uses a matte process. Multiple processes create a layered visual effect and a sumptuous noble feel. The wine boasts a rare flavor and a more significant collection value because it is made from raw pulp, the alcohol content of which is naturally reduced after 20 years in the cellar.
Design Challenge
The challenge for this design is how to create this 72° Xiangyu the conqueror liquor with both a unique appearance and high quality, which requires striking a balance between tradition and innovation. Breaking the boundaries of traditional wine design, we've borrowed from the traditional Chinese symbol of the tripod and the shape of Emperor Yan Shennong’s ox head, combined with the stately color scheme with a historical touch, to create a highly recognizable wine profile with rich stories.
Research
Premium wine has become an essential element in various occasions in China. A well-brewed quality wine is always a representation of respect, celebration, or sharing. The 72° Xiangyu the conqueror liquor exhibits superior quality in flavor and indicates its unique cultural connotation from the inside out, highlighting its sharing significance among a variety of wines.
Inspiration
The bottle is shaped like a tripod, which represents dignity and power in Chinese history and culture. Xiang Yu's lifting of the tripod is considered strong and intrepid, earning him the title of "Overlord". This title is introduced into the product name and design inspiration to ensure its consistency. The bottle's crown resembles the shape of Emperor Yan Shennong's ox head - a symbol of wisdom and courage- adding a unique cultural connotation to its appearance.
Project Duration
The project finished in October 2021.
Operation Flow
Wine is a good offer at high-level business banquets and a precious gift. This design is an artwork with good flavor and an attractive look, exhibiting a strong historical and cultural touch. Its appearance incorporates historical and cultural allusions, resembling a valuable artifact. The rich flavor and aroma complement its allusion-inspired appearance. Each drop is reminiscent of the memory of history. This noble and elegant wine is suitable for banquets and is a respect for recipients.
