Jake :
In wine packaging are relevant issues, cork & bottles, the cost of this 2 items are the more relevant in the packaging, not the labels, normally Wineries use heavier, bigger and more expensive bottles in their best wines and a cheaper…

HI Jake,
Great question. My thought on this is Label shot.
For starters, you can take a picture of the label and still make it look good (in house). If you get into bottle shots, lighting becomes more of an effort and difficult to work with.
The…

Jake, I think a lot depends on the wine being sold. I've bought a few older, rare bottles online and it was comforting to see a picture of the bottle. Although pictures can lie, by being able to see a high res photo you can look for seepage,…

There are no rules. Personally I like styled shots where you see a part of the bottle. Example: http://www.dornier.co.za/collection/

Yes it matters Jake to show the whole bottle where possible, a buying decision is 'made easily and quickly' if you see a complete product that you are buying. For example: if its a gift, you may want to see whole bottle, style, shape,…

Definitely the bottle for online. In our website launch we decided to do a good job providing as much as possible to resonate with varying people's potential preferences. That involves 5 key elements - 1) 'Hero' bottle shot, 2)…

Our clients find it better to show the bottles of their wines. Some Nexternal clients (please see: Nexternal Clients) like www.franciscoppolawinery.com have very unique bottles. Displaying this to the customer can become a selling point or a way of…

I would say use a bottle, but have to option for "view larger picture" to be a shot of just the label

Hi Jake,
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and…

We do both at GarysWine.com ... the search results will show the label but clicking for more info will show you bottle as well!
We have customers that like one or the other so we decided to do both! :)

Jake,
Here are my thoughts. I think that the bottle is as much a part of the package as the label. With so many new bottles shapes and sizes coming out, it helps in identifying the wineries brands. Maybe the best way for online websites to handle…

Neither is better than the other....its a choice the business made. Know your customer and stick to the decision you have made. : )
Wine Label or Wine bottles when purchasing online.
When shopping online for wines, sometimes websites just show the label (snooth.com) and sometimes they show the bottle (klwines.com). I was wondering which is better, does it matter to show the whole bottle? Will the label sell the wine?Interested in everyone's thoughts.See More

- Hi Jake,
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.
Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:
“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.
Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”
Visit please our web-site, for now it’s just in Portuguese, but to see photos you don’t need any translation: www.quintadaboavista.eu
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best.
