Wine for Art’s Sake with Berry Bros. & Rudd |
Britain's Original Wine & Spirit Merchant Selects |
(Hong Kong, 2 March 2018) In a world of limitless wine choices, it is often the label that stands out from the crowd. It can amuse, bemuse or confuse and much like an intriguing work of art in a gallery; it catches attention and is a strong factor in the choice of bottle. The most outstanding labels have become collectable, celebrated for their artwork, the history and even the philosophy behind them. They are admired and appreciated as works of art with a story to tell; an anecdote to recount while sharing a bottle of the wine within. In celebration of Hong Kong’s 2018 Art Month – the annual festival of everything artistic through the month of March – Berry Bros. & Rudd pays homage to some of the most admired art-inspired labels. |
Champagne Thiénot Brut, France, Limited Edition Magnum (HK$299, 75cl) this extra-dry brut Champagne is lively but elegant and well-rounded, filledwith a freshness where floral and fruit aromas intertwine. The label for this limited edition magnum pays homage to an urban art movement that is rooted in 1980s France, just as the house of Champagne Thiénot was expanding. In collaboration with renowned international street artist Speedy Graphito to transform the Thiénot Brut Magnum, the result is a unique, modern day version of itself, redefining its appearance with emoticons, Looney Tunes and Lapinture. It displays playful splash of colours to echo the sparkling values of festivity and happiness, a concept that marries Champagne Thiénot with French art de vivre and street art. |
