The Design

About The Wine Barrel Classic Verpakking

Ontwerpers presenteerden het wijnvat in zijn natuurlijke omgeving, het vat. Ze gebruikten codes van wijnproeven (kelder, vaten, stromen) en doorbraken de stereotypen van gebottelde wijn en ontwierpen de verpakking zodat Het Wijnvat de kwaliteit communiceert van wijn die direct uit het vat komt en het gevestigde idee omkeerden dat goede wijn alleen in een glazen verpakking kan bestaan.

Unique Properties
A fine wine isn’t necessarily a bottled wine. This was the core of the challenge; to reverse the established idea that quality wine can only exist in a glass container and to bring down the perception that good wine is an unreachable and elitist hobby that can only be enjoyed within a wine expertise context.
A new wine category came up, The wine out of the box, which is the notion of moving wine from the big barrel to a smaller barrel so as to not lose its natural habitat.

Design Challenge
A fine wine isn’t necessarily a bottled wine. This was the core of the challenge; to reverse the established idea that quality wine can only exist in a glass container and to bring down the perception that good wine is an unreachable, elitist hobby that can only be enjoyed within a wine expertise context.
Research
Using creativity to democratize the art of wine tasting provided us with an amazing challenge, making the design of TheWineBarrel’s shape the highlight of this project.
Inspiration
TheWineBarrel maintains a visual representation of a wine’s natural home, while simultaneously democratizes the process of wine tasting, bringing it down from a crème de la crème ritual to a laid back evening with friends experience. Aside from its appearance, the symbol for this new, shared experience was enforced with the way the wine is served, with the use of a tap on the package.
Project Duration
The Project Started in October 2020 in Athens and is still ongoing.
Operation Flow
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.
