We create, from a set of designs, labels to place onto your chosen wine which will reflect the occasion and the person celebrating.
For example, as well as having their own named wine, if they are celebrating a 20th birthday, we will put:
'A Twenty year Vintage".
Chateau Murphy (will be their surname)
Produce of Kildare (where they were born)
Specially Selected by David and Victoria (your name)
The back label wording will make the bottle even more individual e.g. their hobbies, occupation etc.
For example:
Their favourite bar... 'Often served in The Rose and Crown'.
Married to Debbie with 2 children... 'Blended with the Debbie grape to produce two younger varieties'.
Someone who likes golf... 'The grape thrives in rough and sandy regions (...also fairways)'.
Standard Delivery on this personalised product takes 6-8 days and costs €4.95 per shipment.
Please note that there are only 3 to 4 facts which can be used on the label.
Facts
About the Person(s)
We use what you give
in this section to write the text. What you supply here we have to
convert into something which may appear in a wine description - so
please be clear, non-cryptic and to the point...
ie. give us a chance!

things to include:

Unless their jobs
are straightforward (eg. policeman, teacher, fireman, lorry driver
etc.) they are really difficult to include in the wine description.
Relations - unless
they are directly linked to the person(s) ie. parents or children,
they are very difficult to connect in the wine description (no
uncles or cousins etc). Grandchildren are OK to include if you also
mention the children (ie Person(s) - Children - Grandchildren).

say plays or goes to or watches on TV etc.

The Golden Rule
Imagine a policeman
has asked you to tell them four facts about the person(s) the gift
is for so they can find them - What would you say?
