Gu Yue Long Shan is the largest group of traditional yellow wine in China, founded in 1664. The new product they created for Gu Yue Long Shan, conveys the idea of enjoying slow time. The graphic design is based on the concepts of water, snow, glutinous rice and time, which are essential in yellow wine, and depicts the local mountains and water to form a complete picture. For female users developed a thin packaging, using pulp press film, and combined with the indentation process, to produce a snow wrap feeling.

- Research
- We combine the Chinese yellow wine culture with the local city culture of Shaoxing, and the yellow wine brewing process to form the bottle label illustration. Time/lake water/glutinous rice/snowflakes form the auxiliary graphics. This is our attempt to expand the image of Huangjiu.
- Inspiration
- We created a young new product for Guyuelongshan, Falling Snow, to convey the idea of enjoying slow times. Water, glutinous rice and time are essential in making yellow rice wine, while the lees of Fragrant snow wine are as white as snow. So we use abstract snowflakes to express time/water/glutinous rice, and draw the local mountains and water to form a complete picture. For female users developed a thin packaging, using pulp press film, and combined with the indentation process, to produce a snow wrap feeling.
